Of all the world's great red wines, almost none requires one's patience as much as Brunello di Montalcino.

Wine of the Week from Spanish Wine Lover
La Montesa 2017 Tinto
Palacios Remondo, Rioja
This is the first organically certified vintage for La Montesa. Grapes are sourced from the eponymous vineyard on the foothills of Monte Yerga in Rioja Oriental. It shows the positive effects of altitude to offset a hot vintage and to add some punch to Garnacha. Scented nose evoking Mediterranean scrubland. This fruit-driven, lively, delicious red is widely available. A smart buy to carry on drinking well when belts have to be tightened. More here from Spanish Wine Lover
