Poggio Mandorlo | La Querce - Montecucco DOCG 2017

★★★★☆
Rated 3.9 on Vivino

People from Tuscany MUST have Montecucco when eating boar! You might not have some for diner but this wine for sure will hold a strong meat.

Complex aroma of red fruit and flowers pleasantly blended with woody notes that are perfectly brought together in the bouquet from fruits and wood. Well balanced in the mouth with silky but ballsy tannins. A wine really difficult to forget!
