Montecucco Riserva Super Tuscan DOC I Tenuta L'Impostino

Impostino Montecucco Riserva Doc

Critical Acclaim

It is a succulent Montecucco DOC wine, with the texture and lively structure driving the plum, eucalyptus, tobacco and earth flavours. It is warm, soft, full-bodied to taste, with a remarkable balance, where the freshness and the tannin well balance the alcohol charge. The final result is long and very satisfying.
