San Claudio II Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2020

Alluring aromas of bramble berry and cassis along with floral notes and a delectable lip-smacking finish with an aftertaste that is well balanced with plenty of pizzazz, soft ripe tannin and a full malolactic conversion that was matured for 6 months in stainless steel containers and 24 months in large casks of Slavonian oak with frequent batonnage. Pour alongside pasta with meat sauce, roast meats and mature cheese. Drink or cellar. Score - 94.
