The most famous Montepulciano wines come from the east coast of Italy specifically the Abruzzo region. Here vast volumes of Montepulciano are produced on the low hills and flatlands around the Adriatic coast and marketed under the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC title. Abruzzo's finest examples of Montepulciano come from the region's north in the Colline Teramane foothills. Although slightly more expensive because of their DOCG status these nonetheless represent excellent value for money."

Pretty in pink yet verging on red and packed full of character the 2020 Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo lifts up from the glass with beguiling depths of crushed stone wild strawberries nectarine and zesty citrus. It’s vibrant seeming to sizzle upon the senses with pent-up tension as ripe red fruits ride a wave of stimulating acidity leaving sweet inner florals in their wake. Enriching notes of spice pomegranate and cherry pits linger through the long slightly grippy and mouthwatering finale. Pour me another please. This wine is made from a single vineyard with clay soils and a southern exposure which was specifically tailored to grow Montepulciano for Cerasuolo. I thought it was interesting to hear from Cristiana Tiberio that she prefers to drink these wines young to properly enjoy the framing tannins that soften a bit too much over time. That said you could easily cellar this for a number of years. PS: The vibrant color comes from all free-run juice. - Eric Guido
