Dei Bossona Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 2015 – 1.5L Redneck Wine Company

95pts Wine Spectator

This red is broad, yet vivid and focused, featuring violet, black currant, blueberry, iron and tobacco aromas and flavors. A swath of dense tannins lends support as this plays out on the long aftertaste. Distinctive and complex.

94pts James Suckling

Lots of ripe fruit, showing the ripeness yet balance of the vintage. It’s full-bodied with round, rich fruit and a flavorful finish. Chocolate and dried fruit with figs. Extremely long and delicious.

93pts Wine Enthusiast

This has a rather shy nose but eventually reveals black plum, underbrush, pressed violet and exotic spice aromas. The full-bodied, enveloping palate offers dried Marasca cherry, brandied prune and star anise flavors framed by fine-grained tannins.

91pts Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The Dei 2015 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva Bossona is a thick and richly textured wine that shows the dark fruit and spice that characterizes this sunny vintage. Dried blackberry, plum cake, spice and leather give the wine a savory and brooding quality that would match a charred steak on the grill. There is a lot of warm-vintage Tuscan intensity in this wine that ends with loose tannins and ripe fruit. I suggest a near-term drinking window for this accessible wine.

Winemaker Notes

Ruby red in color tending toward garnet, this wine offers fine, elegant aromas of preserved black cherries, white pepper, jam and tobacco. On the palate, it is both full-bodied and intense as well as harmonious with velvety tannins.
Pair with game, roasts and seasoned pecorino cheese.
