Tasting notes:
Rich nose of crushed blackberry, spice, and a layer of dusty earth
Dense, fruity core
Moderate tannins on finish with raspberry, cocoa, spice, and pepper
Very nice wine! This wine costs $20 and is a step up from the delicious and simple "Vigne Nuove" label that prices in around $12. It's slightly more dense and structured, showing darker fruit flavors and more spice.
I rarely see this wine and should have grabbed more. The Montepulciano D'Abruzzo wines are common now, but almost exclusively just the entry level bottlings. It's unusual to see the next step up, such as this. Hope you find one. And raise a glass!
