The quantity of new oak as well as concentration level increases with this wine. Made from 100% Montepulciano aged in barriques, it is a dense ruby/purple-colored wine with lots of glycerin, thickness, and richness. The oak is in balance in this medium to full-bodied, internationally-styled, pure, concentrated, well-balanced effort. It should drink well for a decade.
