Big juicy black and blue pastillated fruit, violets, charred wood, leather, rocks. rustic tannins here are a feature not a bug.

To know Abruzzo is to love Abruzzo. Rustic. And refined. Red fruit exploding. Tannins sooooooo smooth. Acid wraps your mouth in velvet.

Very smooth, medium-bodied, juicy red fruit. Great with a homemade shrimp pasta with a light red sauce.

Initially a bit closed and muted, after a while opened up nicely to display a zingy and surprisingly sharp and lively profile, with blackberry and blueberry elements.
