Moncaro 2005 Vigneti del Parco Montepulciano (Conero Riserva)

  • Online Exclusive
Here’s a chocolate-and-espresso-rich expression of Montepulciano with background notes of mesquite wood and barbecue smoke. The wine performs well on the tongue thanks to the smooth and supple nature of its tannins and its sweet berry finish.  — M.L.  (9/1/2009)

Moncaro 2006 Cimerio Montepulciano (Conero Riserva)

  • Online Exclusive
Focused mineral tones of black stone and ash are followed by mature fruit and spice. Cimerio is a thick, meaty wine that would pair with grilled meats or stews. It is chewy and very sweet with bright black cherry on the close.  — M.L.  (9/1/2009)

Moncaro 2006 Roccaviva Red (Rosso Piceno Superiore)

  • Online Exclusive
Roccaviva delivers attractive freshness thanks to its young and raw notes of blueberry, black cherry and sweet raspberry. The wine goes down easy but with determination and imparts a load of sweet berry notes along the way: Pair it with lasagna or risotto.  — M.L.  (9/1/2009)

Moncaro 2002 Terrazzo Verdicchio (Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore)

  1. $13
Fat and heavy on the nose, with some initial barnyard/animal notes that raise questions about cleanliness. However, in the mouth it seems clean, with apple and spice notes preceding the potent finish. Of note, this is a well-packaged wine with a nice label.  — M.S.  (8/1/2004)
