About
this Tasting
Case:
This mixed tasting case gives an introduction
to the big red wines of the Boot. The Montepulciano grape
is native to the region of Abruzzo but reaches its full
expression in Le Marche, under the guidance of winemakers
like Antonio Terni of Le Terrazze and Attiglio Pagli of
Ercole Velenosi. Tenuta la Fuga and Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona
give a taste of Toscana's most revered wine zone with Brunello's
baby brother, Rosso di Montalcino. Tua Rita shows another
side of the region with a wine that introduces the international
Merlot and Syrah to the indigenous Sangiovese. Finally,
Friulian winery Lis Neris gives a taste of the North with
their estate-named blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
