Tiberio Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo 2017
Abruzzo, ItalyCerasuolo d’Abruzzo Tiberio is made from 100 percent indigenous montepulciano d’Abruzzo grapes. The old, original, fifty-year-old clones represent a direct link to the traditional style of Cerasuolo, albeit with a modern twist - freshness and cleanliness. The fruit comes off a specific, cooler, higher block of montepulciano that sits at 350 meters above sea level. The grapes are early picked to retain acidity and you feel it as soon as the wine hits your palate. The colour is medium dark despite a mere 20 minutes of skin contact. The aromas and flavors are very pure and mostly cherry in nature, save for a citrus twang beneath. As light and refreshing as the entry is, the flavours are surprisingly concentrated. Serve chilled for best results.Tasted: 18 October 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $22.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
