Villa Barcaroli Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva 2015

Abruzzo, ItalyVilla Barcaroli, now owned by Marche's Ciù Ciù, is an organic winery based in Abruzzo. This montepulciano is sourced from Controguerra and Ancarano, in Teramo, and at 260m.This was fermented and rested 6 months in stainless, before resting 18 months in barrique. Smoked stone, floral black cherry, brooding black currants, some prune rule the fuller palate, showing the effects of the stint in wood. Tannins are ample, chewy, and ragged, guiding this to a drying finish. Needs roast pork or beef to mitigate.Tasted: 21 April 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
