Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Ilico 2012
Deep ruby. Rich aromas of dark plums and sweet balsamic herbs on the enticing nose. Dense and juicy in the mouth with good ripeness to the dark fruit flavors and juicy acidity extending the flavors at the back. This big, brawny Montepulciano d’Abruzzo ages in 25 hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels for ten months but the oak is unobtrusive. This big boy just calls for rich stews and lamb dishes.
