“Podium” is from a single vineyard at Montecarrotto, spending 15 months in stainless steel then four months in bottle. This wine is a revelation from one of the Marche pioneers. Late harvest and barrel-ageing bring out the Hawthorne scents and add a tropical fruit dimension with almonds and mineral finish. “Podium” is a must-try classic that ages beautifully. For example, the 2008 vintage still looks young and tastes fresh but has evolved a rich complexity. - Wine Alchemy
