Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC
Classically dark-fruited nose of wild berries and woody herbs, with leather, licorice, amaro spice/herb and darky hued minerals accenting and complexing. The palate reads as tightly wound first up, but with air it unfurls with layers of smoky minerals, gently sour fruits and a distinctly territorial sappy herb note, while retaining serious structure.
