Montepulciano d’Abruzzo

Cork

This estate, owned by the Sorricchio family and dating back to the 14th century, is in the DOCG of Colline Teramane, a warmer sub-zone in the north of the Abruzzo region above Pescara, and close to the Adriatic sea. The family’s 52ha are farmed without pesticides or herbicides and the vineyards for this wine are located at 350m on sandy clay soils, helping to moderate the warm climate. The wine matures for 18 months in French barriques before bottling. Jason Millar: Blueberry fruit, very saturated, deep and primary with a note of Earl Grey tea. Impressively long and fragrant with a violet top note that persists on the finish. Really reverberates: superb. Sara Bachiorri: Purple fruit and flower aromas, very fragrant. Good flavour intensity: Morello cherry and dark plums. Very vibrant with grippy tannins. Bruno Besa: Maturing on the nose with black fruits, a touch jammy. Full, tannic palate but balanced by the sweet fruit. A slight bitterness on the finish.
