Vigneto di Popoli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2016

Fresh, enticing, elegant.
Nose with earthy, musky raspberries, mulberries, a touch of damson plum, and a light flowery whiff
On the palate this is silky smooth. Zero rusticity, chewy tannins or sharp acidity - so often found in Montepulciano.
This has flow, energy, good depth, nice minerality underneath the fruit. And all this with 12% alc.
This is not at all what I expected! What a delight, what a nice surprise!
Very elegant, smooth, delicious.
A brilliant example the Montepulciano can deliver great wine!
Only but - you get 2 bottles of Ziereisen’s Syrah for one of this - and blind I would not be able to tell the difference.

Tenute del Cabreo

Cabreo Il Borgo Cabernet Sauvignon Sangiovese 2020

Earth, dark cherry, dust, blackberry, red currant, and tar on the nose. Acid and dark red fruit tang up front. Tannins, baking spice, and subtle oak on the mid-palate. Cocoa, Luxardo cherry, tar, dark chocolate, & subtle tobacco and ash on the finish. This is a beautiful wine, on its own or with food. — 9 months ago
