De Angelis Corvi
Elevito Riserva Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Abruzzi, Italy
Welcome to Terpene Town. Forcefully resinous compounds in massive waves; aromatics and flavors that remind me of my grandmother’s oil painting studio, which happened to double as an indoor botanical garden but was nowhere close to Italy. Perhaps some Adriatic oceanity is expressing itself here in a mysterious form, but that seems like a far stretch so I’ll simply call it Purple Flowers and Turpentine. Curiously intense and oddly nostalgic. This Riserva spent 3 years in barrel but has managed to keep the Oak Monster suppressed in favor of much more unique and quirky nuances.
