PROPER ITALIAN MONTEPULCIANO FOR UNDER $20!
Spicy, structured and wicked value here.
94/100 | Luca Maroni
This cheeky montepulciano from Abruzzo punches well above its weight! It pours a deep ruby red with violet hues, and the nose is packed with vibrant wild berries, violets, and just a hint of balsamic lift. The palate brings classic montepulciano richness – full of dark fruit, spice, and that signature streak of licorice. A touch of tannin gives it structure without stealing the show, and the finish is long, smooth and savoury.
There’s intensity and charm in equal measure, and at this price, it’s an easy decision. 94pts from Luca Maroni seals the deal. Pair it with game dishes, roast meats or a wedge of hard cheese.
