Monte Schiavo Sassaiolo Rosso Piceno 2023 - 6 x 750ml Bottles Description
On the nose, Monte Schiavo Sassaiolo reveals layers of dark cherry and plum, interwoven with black pepper spice and subtle earthy undertones. As it opens, hints of leather and dried herbs emerge, adding complexity and intrigue.
The palate is medium-bodied with a firm, structured backbone. Initial flavours of ripe blackberry and morello cherry give way to savoury notes of black olive and graphite. The tannins are chewy and well-integrated, providing grip without overwhelming the fruit. A distinctive white pepper finish lingers, complemented by mineral and herbal notes that speak to the wine's terroir.
This is a wine of balance and elegance - fruit-forward enough to enjoy now, yet with sufficient structure to reward cellaring. It captures the essence of Piceno's sun-drenched vineyards, delivering a wine that is both approachable and rewarding for those willing to explore its depths.
Perfect with rich pasta dishes with a meaty sauce or pizzas.
