Its intense ruby hue is as enticing to the eye as its flavour profiles are to the palate.

Tasting Notes

Montiano is deep ruby-red in color and exhibits a wide range of aromas, from red berries to spices along with hints of vanilla. Its palate is supple, full-bodied and elegant, remarkably enjoyable with a lingering finish. This wine shows its best qualities when served at a temperature of 18° C (64° Fahrenheit) in large ballon glasses, a great match with meat dishes.
