2006 Cantine Borgo di Colloredo Montepulciano, Molise, Italy

Here is 100% Montepulciano. The inviting leather-filled nose is supple and full-bodied but it can deftly handle many foods. The personality of the winemaker really shines through.

Wine award for the 03 version: "...here's a secret. Enrico di Giulio makes absolutely killer Montepulciano in Italy's Molise province. His 2003 Molise Rosso, from vineyards within spitting distance from the Adriatic, is lively and fresh. I've made it my go-to wine for summer barbecues."—Wolfgang Weber, Critic's Picks, Wine and Spirits Magazine, June 2007
