While the Rosalina is bright and crisp, the Montepulciano is rich and complex! Two wines with opposite delivery and completely different perspectives. From the only plot of Montepulciano grapes in Canada, Chris D’Angelo did a daily lees stirring during fermentation to deliver an extraordinary result in terms of texture, softness and complexity. The nose opens up on aromas of Bing cherry, wild strawberry, and baked berry pie. Peach, apricot and a hint of violet surf through on a subsequent wave. The palate is an absolute beauty, sooo textural…delivering more than last year’s very small-batch first edition! Rich but delicate, it offers flavours of strawberry/apple pie, red cherry, peach, cantaloupe and white spice on the finish. There’s a hint of salinity at the very end, which brings an extra wave of complexity. This one is certainly one of my top roses of the year and a new discovery after our ‘rose marathon’ tasting held earlier in the season. (Carl Boucher, August 2, 2024).
