Tiberio Montelpulciano D'Abruzzo

A burst of wild berry fruits, sweet herbal tones and dusty violet flowers introduces the highly expressive 2023 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. This soaks the palate with depths of mineral-infused red and black fruit as crisp tannins coat the senses. Saturating and long, it finishes structured yet fresh with a raspberry concentration that puckers the cheeks. The 2023 is a powerhouse that possesses a level of complexity well above its price point.
