Montepulciano d’Abruzzo

Cork

Emidio planted his first vines with his grandfather in 1960, and since the inaugural release in 1964 little has changed in the winemaking. Like the wines of today, the 1975 was fermented with ambient yeasts and manual punch-down, then aged for two years in cement. The sample tasted was sent to Luigi Veronelli after a year in bottle, rather than ageing for longer and being decanted into a new bottle, as is the winery's protocol for export. It opens with slight acetic notes followed by deeper nuances of sous-bois. The tannins are soft and fully mature but the palate still has plenty of energy left, offering sweet tarragon, baked cherry and sundried tomato with an undertow of wet concrete. A well-aged bottle, and distinctly Emidio Pepe, this would not disappoint afficionados of this wine.
