Contesa Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva 2020 - 750ml

93pts Wine Enthusiast

The nose is warm and bright, with aromas of dried cherry, red plum, raspberry, blood orange peel, milk chocolate and spices. The cherries and chocolate headline the palate, before a peppery, spicy finish. Acid zips around clinging tannins to create a well-balanced wine.

Winemaker Notes

Made from a selection of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grapes, this wine is subjected to a long maceration period, after which it is refined in different size Oak barrels for 30 months, followed by an in-bottle 6-month maturation period. The result is an authentic and vigorous interpretation of the Montepulciano.
