TORRE DEI BEATI 2022 MONTEPULCIACIANO D'ABRUZZO

VINOUS 92 POINTS - "The animalistic 2022 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo smolders up with mentholated herbal tones and a dusting of cocoa powder before giving way to dried black cherry and violet pastille aromas. It's round and soft in texture, with saturating red and blue fruits. A core of brisk acidity maintains fantastic balance. This finishes gently tannic and long, with a twang of bitter dark chocolate under an air of lavender. The 2022 makes for a wonderful introduction to the Torre dei Beati style." - Eric Guido
