2023 Emidio Pepe Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

The estate's crown jewel. Hand-destemmed over wooden grates to preserve the absolute integrity of every berry, the 2023 Montepulciano balances raw, untamed power with remarkable finesse. Deep notes of dark cherry, dried Mediterranean herbs, leather, and turned earth leap from the glass, supported by tightly knit, traditional tannins. It is a monolithic wine built for the long haul, demanding patience but promising infinite reward.
