In the hills of Marche, bordering Umbria is the Accattoli winery where Anastasia Accattoli creates several traditional but also innovative wines.

One of these wines, Rosso del Monte, blends two of Italy’s native grapes, Montepulciano and Pinot Nero with Cabernet Sauvignon, to create a carefully structured, well balanced wine.

Front Label Translation:  "Careful selection of different types of grapes harvested at different times is obtained for this ruby red wine with violet reflections that reveals hints of berries, cherries in brandy and black cherry."

Tasting notes: Made from 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Montepulciano and 33% Pinot Nero grapes, this is soft, luscious and uncomplicated. Enjoy it with meat dishes, pasta, or why not, just a glass before dinner.
