Trerose Santa Caterina Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2019

In the far eastern reaches of Montepulciano, Tenuta Trerose approaches the boundary of Umbria and Lake Trasimeno. The latter takes the edge off the continental climate, giving an extra push of ripeness which shows through in the lush, fleshy fruit in 2019. It's laden with plush red berries yet remains midweight and mouth cleansing. Powdery tannins layer up across the palate, while touches of pepper and violet add dimension. Drinking window: 2022-2029. Score - 91. (Michaela Morris, decanter.com, March 23, 2022)
