Description
This Monte Mare 100% Sciaccarello from Comte Abbatucci is a wine of the very highest calibre: a truly exceptional wine! … A stunning, shimmering ruby hue, luminous and brilliant, sets the tone. Its aromatic intensity is matched only by its complexity: red berries and wild strawberries are underpinned by surprising iodine notes. On the palate, the silky, velvety texture is immediately captivating. The freshness and salinity do the rest. The fine, silky tannins envelop the palate with great delicacy. A truly great wine that will be a perfect match for marinated, roasted or grilled veal dishes.
