Tasting Notes: The Malandrino marks a turning point for Cataldi Madonna. Their goal was to produce a great wine without any wood contact to express the purity of the fruit. They have succeeded in this fresh and balanced Montepulciano which sees only clay and stainless steel. Deep purple, the nose shows stewed fruit, with notes of balsamic and baking spices. vibrant with notes of ripe black cherry. The wine is lush and round with textured tannins; long finish.

The wine is aged for at least 12 months in a combination of cement vats and stainless steel, followed by at least 3 months in bottle.
