The 2022 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo opens with wild herbs, cedar shavings and dried black cherries. It impresses with its silken textures, while zesty acidity elevates tart wild berry fruits. Violet inner florals combine with blood orange as the 2022 finishes long, gently tannic, yet still fresh. $15.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, October 2024)

Earthy floral nose

Juicy! In that good old world way, easy drinking, at a great price point. Raspberry pomegranate, tarragon, mint, medium acidity and excellent tannin integration.

If you could drink Southern Italian sunshine, it might taste like this. Packed with lush forest berries and easy on the tannins.

On the nose ripe cherries, strawberries and cola. On the palate confirmed cherries and slight tobacco and slight dry finish. Good wine for price

Ripe spicy cherry nose and palate. Obvious malolactic nose when just opened. Maybe better tomorrow. Will let you all know.

Very easy drinking but not super memorable. Hangover the next day!

Vintage 2019 | Wine that easily conquers you with a fruity sour cherry scent, expressive. High acidity that is rounded off if you drink it with food. Very quaffable. Paired with grilled beef tenderloin. | at Jammo Já Beesd
