Mentholated herbs mix with balsamic spice and a core of dried black cherry as the 2021 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Marina Cvetic San Martino Rosso smolders up from the glass. It opens with a burst of tart wild berry fruit and spice as silky textures and violet inner florals soothe the senses. Structured and long, the 2021 leaves the palate wrapped in youthful poise with a tinge of licorice and bitter dark chocolate.
