The Ciù Ciù 2011 Offida Esperanto is a blend of mostly Montepulciano and a smaller part Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a robust, full-bodied red wine to pair with succulent cuts of grilled meat. There is a lot of ripeness here, and this was indeed a very hot growing season. Aromas of blackberry preserves and cherry confit emerge quickly on the bouquet. This is a big wine from all points of view, from the bottle to the wine inside. The bigger those aromas are, like you get here, the less detail and focus they offer in the glass.
