Saladini Pilastri Vigna Monteprandone Blend (Red) -2006

Most Recent Tasting Note:

This is a nice blend of 70% Montepulciano, 30% Sangiovese. Nice fruit of plums with toasted oak and an earthy flavor that seams to marry well with grilled beef or steak. It has great acidity, and the blend of the medium-bodied varietals allows it to pair well with other foods such as tomato-based sauces over pasta, veal, or grilled vegetables as well. At $16, this is a great find and I believe to be a crowd pleaser.

Vecchia Cantina Montepulciano -2004

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

I knew before I poured this wine into the decanter it was going to flow with a nice garnet color from some aging. The aroma of black tar and ripe raspberries hit me immediately, but after aerating a bit, it had some cherry notes with a strong herbal scent. Medium-bodied, it exhibited flavors of tar, tobacco, and sour cherries. Soft tannins and great structure characterized this wine’s feel in the mouth, and it had a nice, medium-lengthed finish. This wine paired very well with marinara and beef over penne. Later, a mild cigar (Macanudo Caviar Cafe) teased out the cherry flavor of the wine, effectively rendering the tar and tobacco flavors in the wine inert. Highly recommended for that Old World rustic character and the ease with which it pairs with marinara… the price ain’t bad either; $11.
