Delinquente Montepulciano Roko Il Vagabondo 2023
The "Monte" is an uncomplicated red wine that provides flavour and energy. The thick skins provides a lovely, dark purple colour, and while the nose gives a feeling of power and intensity, with a very meaty, charcuterie, olive tapenade feel, the palate opens with a lovely, puckering fruit character, like a basket of freshly picked, maybe slightly underripe, but delicious mixed berries.
The finish brings that tannin (although the cooler year means the tannin is less prominent) and those grippy, savoury elements back into play, while the acid keeps the freshness and length going.
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.
