A full-bodied, savory red, with firm but fine-grained tannins. I like the roasted-mushroom and dried-herb undertones to the black fruit. Drink or hold.

The Donvitantonio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a fun expression of one of Italy's most beloved red grapes. Presenting bold flavors rustic charm and outstanding value. Coming from the rugged hills of Abruzzo this wine captures the spirit of the region where Montepulciano grows in clay, really fertile soil. This region benefits from coastal and mountain breezes. On the nose it opens with ripe black cherry, plum and blackberry. In really Italian style it has notes of tobacco, leather, and wild herbs. The smell is rich and intense. It has really smooth tannins, really easy to drink. I can find notes of dark chocolate, licorice and earthy spice that adds depth. What sets this wine apart is its beautiful balance between original flavor and drinkability. Winemaking methods focus on maintaining the purity of the grapes with stainless steel fermentation and minimal intervention. Montepulciano is incredibly food friendly. For those looking for a classic Italian red wine with unique flavor and character. The 2020 Donvitantonio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a must-try. This is the ultimate relaxing wine. Suitable for a casual evening or large social gatherings. A true taste of Italy's rustic charm.

Fascinating aromas of savory dried herbs. Sage, parsley, and a touch of tarragon. Explosive flavors blackberries, peppercorn, dark coffee beans, a hint of black olives and persimmon. Delicious on its own, will elevate any poultry dish. Cheers!

Notes

From the heart of Abruzzo, the 2021 Donvitantonio is a classic and wonderfully authentic expression of Montepulciano. Now with four years of age, it has softened its youthful edges and is drinking beautifully. The nose is rich and savory, with aromas of black cherry and plum, interwoven with notes of leather, dried herbs, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, it’s medium-to-full-bodied, with a core of juicy, dark fruit supported by soft, supple tannins and a fresh, balancing acidity. The finish is smooth and persistent, with a characteristic touch of earthy spice. A perfect, versatile red for rustic Italian cuisine.
