Tenuta Ulisse Amaranta Montepulciano DOP 2019

$36.99

NZIWS Trophy for Champion – International Red Wine Varieties

Wonderfully concentrated on the nose with a potpourri of aromas – think plum jam, dark smoky oak and saddle leather. It is inky and opulent with succulent dark fruit, an inviting savouriness, hints of dark orange chocolate and espresso with supple tannins and a long, lifted finish.
