This Montepulciano from the hills of Abruzzo has a classic style and is aged in large oak barrels. Deep ruby red colour with a purple rim. Dark cherries, stewed plums, dried herbs, a hint of leather and fine spice on the nose. Round on the palate, with ripe fruit, polished tannins, well-integrated acidity and a harmonious, spicy finish. A wine full of character and at the same time accessible with a beautiful regional expression – down-to-earth, honest and wonderfully compatible. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark berries, mocha and some tobacco on the nose of this medium- to full-bodied red. It’s firm yet creamy. Well-balanced and approachable." James Suckling

"A cascade of lavender pastilles and sweet spice gives way to black cherry as the eye-catching 2022 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Ilico blossoms in the glass. Silky and supple, it envelops the palate with fragrant wild berries and floral notes accompanied by fresh acidity. Fine-grained tannins frame the finish, which has a pleasantly bitter blackberry and herbal flavour." Vinous
