Abruzzi, Italy
The 2018 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Terrana is a darker and moodier expression, as fresh coffee grinds give way to brown spice, then peppery herbs and finally crushed raspberries. It’s soft and pliant in the mouth, with cooling acids and minerals, as tart wild berry fruits and hints of fine tannin create a more tactile feel toward the close. This tapers off dry and youthfully poised with a hint of licorice lingering long. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2021)
