“MM Montepulgo” Rosso Veneto Valle d’Agno IGT 2015 · 6 bottles in OWC

Masari | Veneto
Az. Agr. Masari s.a.s. | Contrada Bevilacqua 2a | IT 36078 Valdagno

Masari only brings its famous Merlot to the cellar and bottle in the best years. Dark, deep garnet red in colour. Aromas of black, ripe fruit with spices, balsamic herbs, aniseed and liquorice on the nose. Well and firmly structured on the palate with silky tannins and a wonderful mouthfeel. Despite its maturity, it appears much younger as it has a harmonious acid wire on the finish. 100% Merlot - 100% terroir. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby-garnet colour with a brightening rim. Impressive, rich nose of ripe blackberries, plums and preserved cherries, with some sandalwood. Multi-layered and full-bodied on the palate, ripe berry fruit, especially blackberry and dark currant, opens up with grippy, dense tannins, full-bodied pressure on the final." Falstaff

"This top wine from the Masari winery is made from 100% Merlot and is only produced in vintages that bring out the best in this wine. The wine has spicy aromas of dark plums around a core of sandalwood, cloves, liquorice and tobacco. The velvety tannins glide across the palate, while flavours of preserved cherry, chocolate, aniseed and black tea combine and finish with soft and gentle lightness." Wine Enthusiast

"The highly aromatic Monteplugo 2015 seduces with a blend of crushed blackberries and redcurrants lifted by mentholated herbs, sweet spices and a hint of violet candy. On the palate, it flows with textures of pure silk and polished red and blue fruits. The cooling acidity provides a lovely inner freshness. Notes of cherry combine with chalky mineral tones and a hint of blood orange as the 2015 finishes long and colourful, with just a hint of fine tannin to frame the experience. The Monteplugo shows plenty of sexy oak while retaining the core of the Merlot grape variety. Well done." Vinous

"A deep, brooding nose of black cherries and blackcurrants with nuances of bright black cardamom and black peppercorns. Apples too. Full-bodied with a dense fruit core and fine, slightly firm tannin and a long, flavourful finish. Beautiful intensity and focus. So well structured. This wine is very enjoyable to drink now, but can be cellared for a few more years." James Suckling
