    Rivera 2004 Riserva Il Falcone Red (Castel del Monte)

    This 70-30 blend of Nero di Troia and Montepulciano shares some characteristics of a deeply extracted Cabernet Sauvignon. The aromas are thick and penetrating but also have green accents of sage and chopped herbs. It's a nervous, edgy wine that also pulls off opulence and sophistication.
