Sottovento Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC Riserva Magnum 2015
About the wine
Riccardo spared no expense to bring you this luxury Christmas magnum
- Christmas comes once a year, so you want to be drinking a really special bottle of wine on the big day. Luckily Riccardo has pulled out all the stops to make this super-sized magnum of luxurious Montepulciano Riserva for your Christmas table.
- No trouble and no expense has been spared to make this wine the very best it can be. It spent 12 months ageing to perfection in the most expensive oak, where Riccardo plays jazz music to the barrels in his top-of-the-range winery every day.
- It's velvety smooth, with bags of luscious cherry flavours and an indulgent melt-in-the-middle chocolate finish. Even better, this bold beauty is big enough to see you right through from your Christmas feast with all the trimmings, to your Boxing Day leftovers.
Best before
Being a Riserva, it will hold 7-10 years but I love it now for its fresh fruit character (which will evolve into dried fruit flavours).
