Tiberio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2019
Abruzzo, ItalyTwenty years ago, in 2000, Riccardo Tiberio found an old plot of trebbiano abruzzese vines, among other indigenous varieties, near the hillside town of Cugnolia, 40km from the sea. Today the estate is run by his children, Cristiana and Antonio. This montepulciano is from 55-year-old vines grown over calcareous clay soils, fermented and aged in stainless for three months. The colour is opaque, the nose a mix of floral, scrubby herbs that preview mostly red fruit and considerable tannins. This is richer than you might expect and has the power to accompany big dishes like lamb or pork. Hold three to five years or decant for an hour if serving sooner. Well made, authentic wine.Tasted: 02 May 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $25.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
