Description
Conero Riserva Stile Libero 2015 Angeli di Varano
Montepulciano 100%
Intense ruby red color with garnet shadows.
The nose is intense and of absolute charm. When the glass is still, aromas of cherry, blackberry and blueberry arrive. Roteandolo opens the façade and adds a whole set of spices, with pepper, cocoa and cloves. There is no shortage of flowers and aromatic herbs. Intense and of great quality, the aromas together paint an absolute class picture.
On the palate it is full-bodied and of presence. Well-defined hardnesses, with vibrant but not pungent tannins, to excel over acidity and minerality. The volume expressed by softness completes the work, for an excellent wine, capable of being both powerful and elegant. From the oral cavity come aromas of vanilla, nutmeg and withered flowers. It has excellent ability to age improving. One of the best wines of the Marche.
