Antico Colle 2017 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, $22.94-$28.99, 91 points, poured an opaque cranberry red with an orange/red penumbra, a clear meniscus, and copious stained legs.
Aromas of cloves, black tea, a soft Asclepias perfume, and a hint of tar and citrus were quite good.
Nearly a full-bodied Sangiovese with good acidity, a sound and supportive layer of grainy tannins, and rich flavors reflective of the aromas with a hint of java was quite good also.
Finished long, a bit astringent (not a soft Merlot-lovers red wine), showing red fruit and warm spice, and a big 14.5% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my flat-bread pepperoni pizza.
I consider this a high QPR red wine.
