The 2010 Rosso Conero Praeludium (Montepulciano, Sangiovese) is a fat, juicy wine bursting with dark red fruit. There is nothing fancy here, just a pleasant fruit-driven wine to enjoy in its youth. It is a touch rustic, but pretty all the same. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014. Le Terazze is one of the Marche's most intriguing wineries. Proprietor Antonio Terni fashions unique wines that are well worth paying attention to. Unfortunately I was not able to taste the estate's higher end wines.A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including: de Grazia Imports; tel.
