FEATURES

The 2019 Icario Vitaroccia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is a testament to the estate's blend of tradition, innovation, and dedication to terroir. Produced only in top years, "Vitaroccia" is Icario's flagship Riserva, showcasing the best of their land and philosophy. The vintage benefited from hand-harvesting towards the end of September, followed by fermentation and maceration in steel barrels, and refinement in French oak barriques and tonneaux for 24 months, with further bottle aging for 12 months before release. This rigorous approach, guided by winemaker Franco Bernabei and the Rothenberger family, emphasizes eco-oriented design and meticulous vineyard management. It has received outstanding scores, including 93 points from Luca Maroni and Falstaff, positioning it among the top-rated wines of its appellation for the vintage. 【Flagship Riserva with exceptional character and aging potential】 This wine displays an intense, almost impenetrable ruby red color with slight garnet hues. The bouquet is intense and complex, characterized by red berry fruits, violets, and exotic spices on a background of undergrowth and precious wood. On the palate, it is enveloping, structured, and elegant, with fine tannins and remarkable persistence, making it both powerful and refined. Tasting notes also mention layers of dark cherry, plum, blackberry, dried herbs, subtle gamey notes, chocolate, tobacco, and earthy undertones. It's crafted from predominantly Sangiovese with small quantities of complementary grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions include BBQ and game. Its structured yet elegant profile also makes it an excellent match for rich Tuscan dishes, roasted red meats, aged cheeses, and hearty pasta with meat sauces. 🥂 This wine is an excellent candidate for long aging, designed to age beautifully for 20 years or more, becoming even more profound with each passing year. It's perfect for a sophisticated dinner, a special celebration, or as a thoughtful gift for a wine connoisseur. It requires longer aeration, but the wait pays off.
