FRIDAY FRIENDZY DEAL!!! Let’s kick it off with a ROCK BOTTOM deal on the 2012 Stefano Antonucci Marche Rosso from Marche, IT. This is THE wine of the year (well, so far) with an absolutely, drop-dead bonkers price. Easily a $30/bottle retail, but today snatch it up for just $19.95/bottle on 6+!!! Just do it quick though…who knows how long it will last at this get it while it’s hot discount!!!
The 2012 Stefano Antonucci Rosso is a medium bodied red that is flat-out MOLTO BENE!!! We love the EASE at which it “disappears” in the glass. Comprised of behemoth varietals montepulciano, merlot, andcabernet sauvignon, you’re pleasantly rewarded with a mouthfeel that is SILKY SMOOTH. This beautiful, complex red is not for the timid however, but it IS for anyone who loves DEEP, DARK, JUICY, REFINED, SUCCULENT and SAVORY Italian wine…and one that is not easily found either – a CV EXCLUSIVE!!! No need to bedazzle you with crazy scores or press, because the wine is speaks for itself. Take it from the Wine Sleuths here at Carpe Vino, don’t miss the boat with this ONE!!!
What is Montepulciano?
According to wine experts, Montepulciano is most closely related to the Sangiovese grape. It is Italy’s second most planted indigenous varietal and has had a reputation for being a modestly priced juicy “pizza-friendly” red wine. In addition, it does have remarkable aging potential and is best enjoyed after 4 years.
Winemaker Notes:
“Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. Intense berry fruit with the persistent presence of “Marasca” cherry. Long and intense with mature fruit, mainly raspberry and black currant.”
“This wine was created to meet the challenge of uniting international grape varieties with our indigenous Montepulciano. Making a wine and seeing it grow well makes us happy and gives a great sense of satisfaction. I want to share this satisfaction with our partners and friends who over the years have helped both me and my winery grow.” ~ Stefano Antonucci
