About This Wine
Founder's Fortune
Montepulciano
When people in the 1800s flocked to California in search of gold, they wanted to get rich quick. But at Firstleaf we know that a true treasure takes time. Having developed slowly, this powerful Montepulciano was definitely worth the wait. With grippy tannins and gobs of fruit on the palate, this is a complex wine that boasts its big, bold Italian origins. Look out for an explosion of blackberry, strawberry, and cherry, with hints of violet, vanilla, and bitter chocolate beneath. For the full experience, enjoy with a hearty oxtail and winter vegetable stew. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver medal from the 2020 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and at the 2019 Harvest Challenge.
