ColleMassari Montecucco Rosso Riserva 2018 750 ML

The barrel-aged Montecucco Rosso Riserva Doc from the Piedmont wine-growing region reveals itself in the glass in a dense purple, ruby red. With a little sideways movement, the red wine glass reveals a charming garnet-red tone at the edges. If you give it a little air by swirling, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, which can be seen in strong stained glass windows at the edge of the glass. This Italian cuvee reveals wonderfully expressive notes of blackberries, blackcurrants, mulberries and blueberries in the glass. There are also hints of other fruits.\n\nThe Colle Massari Montecucco Rosso Riserva Doc is wonderfully dry for the wine connoisseur. This red wine is never coarse or austere, but round and smooth. This velvety red wine is full-bodied and multi-layered on the palate. The Montecucco Rosso Riserva Doc is exceptionally fresh and lively on the palate thanks to its pronounced fruit acidity. On the finish, this mature red wine from the Piedmont wine-growing region finally delights with its beautiful length. Once again, there are hints of blueberry and blackcurrant.\n\nThe basis for the powerful Montecucco Rosso Riserva Doc from Italy are grapes from the Cabernet Sauvignon, Ciliegiolo and Sangiovese grape varieties. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the powerful Montecucco Rosso Riserva Doc is matured for a few months in oak barriques. Once the wine is finished, the Montecucco Rosso Riserva Doc is carefully harmonized.
