Produced from the Montepulciano grape, the 1998 Pie' delle Vigne Cerasuolo should be approached as something distinctive and original. Readers should think of it as halfway between a dry rose and a light-bodied red wine. Its light pink/ruby color is accompanied by a fragrant strawberry and cherry jam-scented nose. Offering excellent fruit and great purity, this fun wine requires consumption over the next 6-8 months. Do not hesitate to serve it chilled. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
