"Delicate and floral, sweet and tart on the nose, with aromas of sour cherry, raspberry candy, violets, mocha and white pepper. Macerated berries and abundant milk chocolate headline the palate, before an earthy, herbaceous, peppery finish lifted by a current of acid. Another deeply pleasurable wine from Torre Zambra that doesn't sacrifice depth or sophistication."- Danielle Callegari
Torre Zambra was founded in 1961 by Laurentino De Cerchio on family property which was purchased from the Zambra family in 1910. Now being run by the third generation, their wines are known for their well-rounded, easy to like style.
100% Montepulciano fermented in stainless steel tanks, matured in concrete, then French and Slavonian botti for eight months and in bottle for another four. Plums, black cherries, spice, dark chocolate, cocoa and earthy tar notes are present in the aromas and on the palate. It’s medium to fuller bodied with notes of undergrowth and a lively finish.
