Monte Schiavo 2010 Sassaiolo (Rosso Piceno)

Country: Italy / Sassaiolo
Variety: Red Blend Central Italy
Winery: Monte Schiavo / Rosso Piceno

This 50-50 blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese opens with earthy aromas of tilled soil and blue flower, accented by ripe red berries. The palate is one dimensional with juicy black cherry, raspberry and a hint of cinnamon-spice. Simple, but well made and very accessible. Drink soon. Siena Imports, L’Amore di Vino.
