Monterustico
Piemonte Rosso Red Blend
Red fruit - cherries and raspberries. Cedar is prominent. Damp soil, underlying truffle, dried thyme. Smooth, soft tannin and very dry. Good pair with tonights sautéed mushrooms.

6 people found it helpfulJun 7th, 2017Old world meets new world. Mostly Nebbiolo, with rose petal laced perfume, and bright, ripe, red fruits. Raspberry, cherry, iron rich dust, leather, dried thyme, and the unmistakable earthiness of mushrooms. A very young wine with nearly zero bottle time, so seek this out to cellar, or enjoy it now!

Feb 23rd, 2019Started as good as the first time : cherries and raspberries with a tannin bite. After a half hour fruit disappeared and tannin was dominant.
