"Deep ruby-red with pleasant reflections of violet. Intense and covered, notes of currant stick out, wild strawberries, and pomegranate. Soft and velvety. Distinct characteristics of fruitiness come forth."

"Red berries, cherry, redcurrants, violets, hints of tobacco."

"Impenetrable ruby red with purplee glints. Wild berries, hints of wood and minerals on fragrances of liquorice, black pepper, tobacco, spices and chocolate. Well-balanced, very intense, persistent and full-bodied and robust; to be consumed more than 5 years after harvest."

A soft red wine from Oliver Winery in Bloomington Indiana.

"Medium-bodied wine with a crimson red color."

"A more sophisticated side of Montepulciano emerges from the 2008 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Spelt. Sweet floral notes lead to dark red berries and spices in this polished, gracious Montepulciano. La Valentina did a great job with the 2008, a wine that shows the pure elegance and refinement that Montepulciano is capable of. Sweet floral notes add lift on the finish. A pretty, beautifully balanced, silky wine loaded with class, the Spelt should drink well for the better part of the decade. Best of all, the Spelt is a fabulous value."
