Montepulciano d’Abruzzo

Medium

Riserva

From vineyards in Ancarano and Controguerra where the vines average 35 years old, this wine is matured for 12 months in old French barriques before spending a further six months in bottle. On the nose it appears quite mature, with plenty of dried fruit accompanied by floral overtones and a hint of spicy cedar. In the mouth it has an impressive complexity, with creamy chocolate, ground coffee, balsamic vinegar, black cherry and eucalyptus. It's broad and fleshy - and incredibly moreish - and although tannins are present they sit back in the mix. The finish isn't quite as persistent as some other examples, and the acidity seems a touch flatter, but this offers such heartwarming, delicious flavours that it's hard to put down.
