Emilia's Cuvée

Emilia's Cuvée Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: Montepulciano is a very late ripener, usually picked here in early November. The 2004 ripened earlier and the sugars were higher. The wine is all around bigger and rounder with a richer mouth and feel. Aromas are curiously similar to the leaner, elegant 2003, earth, tar, licorice and dried herbs. The 2004 Emilia’s Cuvée is broad, dense and lush, a bit jammy on the palate, and the flavors hang to a lengthy finish.

Varietal Definition
Montepulciano:
Minor grape mostly found growing in central and southern Italy. Generally made into a blend with Sangiovese in order to produce a fruity, round, yet balanced red wine with attractive aroma.
