The Riserva version of the famous "Tralcetto" is a modern expression of Montepulciano from Abruzzo – powerful and dense, yet always distinct in style. The 2021 vintage was selectively harvested by hand and, following traditional maceration, aged for nine months in large wooden casks, which lends the wine structure and depth.

In the glass, a deep ruby red with violet highlights. On the nose, dark cherry, plum, liquorice and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with well-integrated tannins. The fruit remains ever-present, supported by spicy oak notes and a delicate, ripe acidity. "Tralcetto" Riserva 2021 is a successful step towards a sophisticated Montepulciano – approachable, yet with noticeable substance and depth. SUPERIORE.DE

"A lovely, floral, lively nose; fresh on the palate with notes of soft dark berries, black cherry, cranberry and vanilla." Decanter

"The 2021 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Tralcetto is darkly floral, with crushed violets, sweet smoke and radiant black cherries. This is polished in feel with rounded textures and ripe blue and red fruits. The 2021 finishes with a framework of sweet tannins alongside nuances of licorice and mint." Vinous
