Granarijs 2015

A blend of 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese that matures on the lees in barriques for 14 months. The wine has a distinct but not opaque ruby color and a bouquet with classic notes of nutmeg that alternate with those of bitter cacao and black cherry with a smoky hint. The mouthfeel is rich yet loose, with tannins that are just a tad rough and a flavorful finish with notes of vanilla and nutmeg. This version is a tad less full-bodied than usual (select Rosso Piceno can be very bold) but is more agile and easy. With bottle aging Granarijs takes on a pleasing earthy note. Our advice is to let it sit in the cellar for a couple of years even if it is really good even now.
