Wine Information:
Country: Italy
Region: Molise
Appellation: Molise Rosso
Variety: Red Blend
Points James Suckling | Aromas of fig, grilled plum and leather. Full-bodied with firm tannins. Savory on the palate with baked black fruit and baking spice. Earthy herbs. Coffee.
Points Wine Enthusiast | Cedar and dill are followed by vanilla and black cherries and then more earthy notes of bricks and crushed stone on the nose, while the palate stays juicy and sweet with more cherries and vanilla, contoured by firm tannins and substantial acid.
Points Vinous | Plum, cherry sauce and grilled herb notes lift up from the 2017 Ramitello. This is softly textured and more energetic than its aromatics would suggest. A juicy acidity contrasts its tart cherry-berry fruits. There's a coating of fine tannins, and cocoa and spice nuances linger. The 2017 boasts a warm vintage character while maintaining balance. Ramitello is a blend of 85% Montepulciano to 15% Aglianico.
Deep ruby-red in color, Ramitello offers aromas of plums, forest fruits, dark chocolate, leather, and licorice. On the palate, a rich and velvety body pushes flavors to continue over a long and intriguing finish.
Pair this wine with grilled steaks, Port sauces, Scandinavian-style venison, and beef bourgignon. 85% Montepulciano, 15% Aglianico. Winemaker Description.
