Il Conte Villa Prandone Marinus Piceno Superiore 2017 vintages

A rich, medium- to full-bodied red in a well-tailored frame, knitting saturated flavors of crushed boysenberry, pomegranate, black licorice, toast and spice to fine-grained tannins and a graphite-laced underpinning that echoes on the finish. Montepulciano and Sangiovese. Best from 2021 through 2029. Smart Buys. Ranked #60 in Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2020. Score - 91. (Alison Napjus, winespectator.com, Feb. 29, 2020)
