2024 Idi Di Marzo - Montepulciano Riserva Amarne (750ml)

The 2024 Idì di Marzo Montepulciano Riserva Amarne arrives in a standard 750ml bottle, offering a structured, oak-aged expression built around the renowned Montepulciano grape. Classified under Riserva production standards, this bottling utilizes extended maturation that translates directly into a medium-to-full bodied wine featuring concentrated flavors of stewed black cherry, ripe plum, and sun-baked wild herbs.

Dry yet polished tannins anchor the palate, supporting a clean, savory finish highlighted by subtle notes of cedar, dried tobacco, and cracked black pepper. This varietal responds well to proper aeration; decanting for thirty to forty minutes softens the tannic grip and releases underlying violet and sweet spice aromatics. Pairs reliably with robust preparations such as slow-braised lamb shanks, tomato-based pasta dishes with hearty meat ragù, grilled eggplant stuffed with ricotta and fennel sausage, or aged sheep’s milk cheeses like Pecorino Salato and Parmigiano Reggiano. Store the bottle in a temperature-stable environment away from direct sunlight to maintain cork integrity and preserve the structural balance between primary fruit and secondary oak influence through every service.
