Avignonesi 'Oceano' Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2016

WINE TYPE: Red

BOTTLE SIZE: 750 ml

Sommelier's Notes

Oceano gives voice to one of the most peculiar expressions of Avignonesi’s soils: the mattaione clay, able to craft a fruity and well-structured Sangiovese. Opulent and voluptuous, Oceano impresses for its power and charisma and enchants for its great intensity. On the nose, the bouquet is rich and complex: brandied cherries and Mediterranean herbs hints intertwine with citrus fruit, sandalwood and violet flower notes. In the mouth, Oceano overwhelms your palate in a wave of freshness and heat, where the ripe fruit aromas are integrated with earthy notes and culminate in a long and persistent finish.


Culinary Recommendation: To serve at 16-18 °C. Good match with Dark Meat, Dark Poultry, Grilled of any Kind, Cheese well matured and Mild wild Dishes
