Another offering from Cul De Sac in Rome brought out with a second plate of local meats and cheeses. Life is good...EXPERIENCE
Spicy nose, a medium body, and a dry peppery finish. Excellent paired with cured meats; the finish cuts right through and refreshes the palate.
VERDICT
NOT A VALUE - This is not a bad wine, but our rating system is based on value. €23.50 paid in rome converts to about about $30 US, and though this wine is enjoyable, it's overpriced. If you've got money to burn, give it a try. If not, there are many comparable wines at lower prices. It really compares closely to a good Morellino di Scansano, which you can usually get for under $20.
FACTS
Tenuta Santa Lucia's Ótio is made from Montepulciano, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot all blended after separate vinification. The wine is classified IGT and comes from Poggio Mireto in northeastern Lazio. For more information visit the winery's website (complete with corny new age music).
