Fattoria Mantellassi 2006 Querciolaia (Maremma)

Country: Italy / Querciolaia
Variety: Alicante Tuscany
Winery: Fattoria Mantellassi / Maremma

Alicante is a variant of Grenache (used widely in France, Spain and California) that finds its home only in tiny pockets of Italy, including Maremma, Tuscany. This wine shows enormous spice with tones of scented candle and incense with blackberry and cherry.
