  • Podere Montale's vineyards sit where marine breezes encounter the face of a mountain. Vines thrive in the high elevations and temperatures that swing dramatically from noon to midnight.
  • Their 2017 'Peposo' is a classic, rustic Tuscan red. Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet combine to advance pure blackberry and bramble aromas, while umami-driven dried fig and mushroom flavors alternate with black tea tannins on the palate.
  • You'll be transported to the pastoral Italian countryside, pairing this inky-dark wine with a simple peposo. Open one now and save a few to track over the next couple of years.

Technical Information
Fermentation is carried out on the skins for 10-15 days at a controlled temperature (27-28 degrees C.) This phase is followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel vats, specifically designed for the delicate extraction of tannin and color. Finally, the wine is bottled and stored so that the wine may continue to age.

Tasting Notes
Ruby red color. The bouquet is joyful, with a wonderful floral aroma and hints of violet. The wine is fruity with notes of just-gathered fresh fruit. The taste reveals ample freshness and minerality. The good sapidity gives the palate a pleasant drink.

The 2017 Toscana ‘Peposo’ from Podere Montale delivers pretty aromas of red berries, cherries, crushed stone, mixed with spices, florals and leather. This classy Tuscan Blend is well structured with fine tannins and a beautiful silky texture, that continues through the long finish. This is showing beautifully today and I expect it to continue to evolve over the course of the next 5-7 years.

Currant and berry aromas with some hazelnut and sage undertones. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a fresh, savory finish. I like the fresh line of acidity and tannin that runs through this, despite the hot growing season. Drink or hold.
