title: Montemercurio 2009 Messaggero  (Vino Nobile di Montepulciano)
description: Aromas of underbrush, blackberry, ground black pepper and a whiff of leather come together in the glass. The warm, forward palate shows dried black cherry, licorice, clove and sage accompanied by dusty tannins that leave a drying finish. Drink sooner rather than later to catch the remaining fruit richness.
variety: Red Blend
designation: Messaggero
