Reviewed May 2025Intense and brooding in the glass, the 2021 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Archivio smolders up with a blend of grilled herbs, ashen stones, menthol and dried black cherries. It possesses a core of cool-toned acidity, silky textures and masses of mineral-tinged wild berry fruits, creating a sense of pure elegance. Structured and dramatic, the 2021 leaves the palate saturated in primary concentration. Cristiana Tiberio's experience with aging Montepulciano partially in barriques is paying off—each vintage of Archivio displays more and more balance.

Notes
The 2021 Tiberio "Archivio" is a powerful, single-vineyard red from nearly 70-year-old vines. The nose is brooding with dark cherry, sage, and smoky minerals. On the palate, it is concentrated and "staining," balancing black fruit and licorice against a distinct salty, oyster-shell minerality. It finishes with firm, structural tannins and balsamic persistence. This is a monumental Montepulciano built for decades of aging.
