Wine folklore has it that maritime red wines retain a sense of the raging sea. True or not, this coastal red from the Southern Italian region of Molise captures the breezy Mediterranean terroir and saline touches of the Adriatic Sea along with the plum rich grandeur of an organically farmed Montepulciano and contrasting herbaceousness of a little Aglianico. This red blend is deliberately left unoaked, highlighting Molise's maritime terroir on the palate. While the region is incidentally, Italy's second smallest, its potential for stellar ferments as borne out by this graceful blend, is certainly infinite.
