Rosso Piceno 'Viabore', Carminucci, Marche, Italy

Duncan Says: A ripe, balanced and aromatic wine from an acclaimed producer

Tasting Notes: Smooth and approachable, with perfumed aromas of Morello cherry and a soft, fruity palate, beautifully balanced by a fresh character with a touch of spice.

Grapes: Montepulciano 50%, Sangiovese 50%

Best Enjoyed: A delicious pairing with game meats such as venison.

Good to Know: Each of the two grape varieties was vinified separately, then after blending the wine was aged 80% in steel tanks and 20% in second use French oak.
