Riparosso is the entry-level wine, a blockbuster and a great introduction to Montepulciano. A joyous, fruit-driven red with juicy dark cherries, flowers and spices that seem to jump from the glass. The palate is deep, full, round, and well-balanced with a lingering hint of licorice on the finish. Pairs well with roasted red meats, braised meats, game & poultry.
