Brown Brothers
Limited Release Montepulciano
Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)
More than half a century ago John C. Brown started experimenting with alternative grape varieties, among them - Montepulciano (or 'Monte' for short). We have since devoted a small block at our Heathcote vineyard in Central Victoria to growing this premium red grape: one of the finest and more innovative varietals we make at Brown Brothers. The Limited Release Montepulciano is enigmatic and generous in fruit, with moderate acidity and a full-bodied palate. Drink now, or cellar for 3-5 years.
Food Pairings
The Limited Release Montepulciano goes well with a wide array of traditional Italian dishes such as tomato-based pastas and spicy pizza. Or why not try it with a smoked lamb cutlets and roasted Mediterranean vegetables. It is also a fantastic combination with lighter washed rind cheeses.

Spicy Italian Red from Heathcote Australia
"I liked this variety when I first encountered it at an Italian Restaurant a few years ago. Brown Brothers Montepulciano comes from the highly regarded wine district of Heathcote in Victoria. I liked the spicy tannins that were bold but not overpowering. I liked the lingering aroma of berry fruits and old tobacco."
