Big and clumsy upon opening, as nutty, earthy aromas dominate the fruit. Airing reveals lively black cherry and snappy plum flavors, but also a distant taste of sugar beet. Brightly acidic and almost tangy; it’s obviously a good wine but it has a short zestiness that brings it down a notch.

Lean and almost weedy. The ripeness is in question from the start. In the mouth, it pulses with awkward, green, plum flavors in front of a nondescript, narrow finish. Picks up some steam with time but fails to get over the hump.

A blend of 60% Vermentino and 40% Sauvignon Blanc that runs heavy and ripe but not out of control. The flavor profile entails dry pit fruits such as peach and nectarine, while the finish is defined by soda-cracker dryness and citrus rind. Balanced and zesty, if a touch lean on flavor.

Thanks to the firm and structured nature of the tannins, Montepergoli will benefit from another five years of cellar aging. The wine opens with black, ripe fruit and smoky aromas of tanned leather, clove and peppercorn.
