Actually disappointing for a montepulciano. Somewhat boring.

The 2022 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo opens with wild herbs, cedar shavings and dried black cherries. It impresses with its silken textures, while zesty acidity elevates tart wild berry fruits. Violet inner florals combine with blood orange as the 2022 finishes long, gently tannic, yet still fresh. $15.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, October 2024)

Interestingly smoky on the nose. Chewy at first sip as if strained through leather. Dark berry mid pallet with bark and spice finish. Humorous as some share a forest floor taste which I guess would depend on which forest. The wine is good and would go great with saucy pastas. Two thumbs up. Finally, with a good cigar the cherry flavor pops big time!!!

Bel italien passe-partout mais assurément parfait avec des pâtes ! Fruits rouges.

Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Extremely savory aromas and flavors of dried black cherries, bramble berries, cedar wood, violets, bakers chocolate and fresh herbs. Long finish and high level of acidity. Quite fresh tasting, rich and brooding. Very rustic and juicy, but not overly tannic. Excellent value.
