Montepulciano d’Abruzzo

Medium

From vines on the Colle Maggio in Villamagna, this wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks before maturing in concrete for six months, then French and Slavonian tonneaux (20% new) for eight months, and finally bottle for four months. It has a delicious aroma of black cherry, dark chocolate, barrel tar and subtle spice. In the mouth there is more black cherry along with creamy damson, blackberry and violets notes, and red-fruit acidity. The tannins are fine-grained and understated but provide enough structure, while woody notes emerge on the mid-palate along with some minty freshness. The finish is spicy and fairly intense, with some tobacco and herb notes alongside the black fruits.
