Showing some of the same intensity that you get with Amarone that is made with air-dried fruit, this is all Cabernet Sauvignon from northeast Italy. The Montecariano 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Puntara is distinguished by dried fruit aromas, forest floor and even a hint of wild mushroom that gives it a slightly wild side. The wine proceeds to show dark cherry and plum and lots of oak spice over a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel. It carries a powerful 15.5% alcohol content.
