Montepulciano
€24.90
100% Montepulciano
A deeply rewarding, structured, and muscular flagship red that showcases the serious, age-worthy side of Abruzzo winemaking. Sourced from low-yielding hillside vineyards and aged for up to 18 to 24 months in fine oak barrels, this 2020 Riserva boasts an exceptional concentration of flavour.
It pours an intense, opaque ruby-red colour with deep purple reflections. The nose is highly complex and broad, opening with an attractive bouquet of over-ripe black cherries, dark plums, and wild blackberries, beautifully layered with secondary notes of dark chocolate, leather, tobacco leaf, and sweet oak spices like vanilla and cinnamon. On the palate, it is full-bodied, robust, and velvety smooth. A rich, fleshy core of dark forest fruits runs over firm, well-integrated tannins, balanced by a lively fruit acidity that keeps the grand structure feeling fresh, carrying into an exceptionally long, warming, and spicy finish.

Bright ruby red with aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, blueberry and violet, complemented by subtle hints of spice and walnut husk. The palate is fresh and medium-bodied, offering vibrant dark fruit flavours, fine-grained tannins and lively acidity that provide excellent balance and drinkability. The finish is persistent, with notes of sour cherry and plum lingering alongside a touch of savoury minerality. An elegant, unoaked Montepulciano that pairs beautifully with grilled meats, pasta with rich tomato sauces and aged cheeses.
