Italian varieties continue to illustrate that the warm Riverland/Riverina inland regions may offer more than being a sourced for generic branded wine of indifferent quality.
Delinquente ‘The Bullet Dodger’ is a sold example of Montepulciano. As befits the variety, it is deeply coloured, with up-front dark cherry and plum. Complex it is not, but it is yet another well executed example of an interesting Italian varietal in grown in warm inland Australia.
Dry and savoury, ‘The Bullet Dodger’ is well suited to Italian dishes of many shapes and sizes; pizza, tomato-based past a dishes and rich ragus. At under $20, it constitutes good value for money.
