The 2008 Rosso Piceno Tenuta Pongelli (Montepulciano, Sangiovese) emerges from the glass with dark red berries, flowers tobacco and underbrush. It is a beautiful, feminine red well-suited to drinking over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. Bucci is a reference point winery for the Marche. The Verdicchios in particular are standouts. While readers are likely to drink these wines pretty much upon release, they do have an ability to age gracefully.Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
