Montevetrano 2007. Cheers!
After Vinitaly, let me introduce Montevetrano 2007.
Sweet, captivating, full of fruit and with a distinct depth, the complex style for which it has become famous is more notable than in the 2006. This vintage is warmer. Intense eucalyptus and cedar on the nose, long in the mouth.
Due to enter the Japanese market before the 2006, which is being reserved to age well.
Cheers! Visit us again for more "in-depth" reviews!
