Description
Conero Riserva Rossini 2016 Piantate Lunghe
Montepulciano 100%
Intense ruby red color
The nose is plentiful, multifaceted and of great class. It releases aromas of withered flowers, ripe fruit and sweet spices. Geranium, cherry, red currant, and plum. Notes of vanilla, tobacco, cocoa and green pepper light up the path, for an olfactory profile of great depth.
On the palate it is voluminous and at the same time well supported by hardness. A slight residual sugar and the warmth of the alcohol content accompany the creaminess, for a pleasant combination of softness. The structure boasts well-defined tannins, excellent minerality and adequate freshness. The sum is a great wine, which extends into very persistent memories of spices, blueberries and eucalyptus.
Among the wines of the Marche it stands out for its complexity and finesse. Excellent interpretation of Montepulciano in purity.
