The 2009 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Vigna Le Coste offers a nice package of varietal purity. The wine opens to dark concentration and thick aromas that lift lazily from the glass. Dark fruit, black currant, spice, leather and grilled herb find good balance. The wine is lush and rich in the mouth with solid structure and rich texture. Vigna Le Coste is aged in large oak casks for up to 14 months.
