Delinquente 2024 Roko il Vagabondo Montepulciano
Notes from the maker...
Smells like the combination of dark, brambly fruit and a giant tomahawk steak sizzling over charcoal… but with a violet floral, out in the meadow freshness to it. Crazy nice to smell. On the palate, soft dark fruit and chewy, drying tannin makes you yearn for red sauce – margarita pizza or pasta amatriciana.
The Montepulciano was harvested from two different patches on the Bassham Family Organic vineyard, on separate days about a week apart. Each pick was fermented separately and blended together just prior to bottling. The earlier pick carried a lovely tart acidity and green energy, usually associated with whole bunch fermented wines, while the later pick gives palate weight and the deeper fruit character for drinkability – the final blend bringing both parcels together in a really awesome way.
