Subject: ❤️🇮🇹Abruzzo Romance🇮🇹❤️

We had the immense pleasure to taste this week with winemaker Cristian Tiberio. She is mesmerizing for her energy and pioneer spirit of bringing back to life abandoned vineyards from original rootstock in Abruzzo, Italy. Her wines are evidence of her vibrant life-force.
Happy to Offer

2016 Tiberio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo $22 bottle

100% Montepulciano
The rolling Abruzzo hills, which slope down from the Apennines toward the Adriatic Sea are characterized by mild sea breezes and cool air currents coming in from the mountainous massif of the Majella. The region was home to ancient Roman villae rusticate, large organized agricultural entities, and grapes were among the many crops grown. Although the land is ancient Roman in history, Cristiana and Antonio have a modern perspective in the cellar and tend their vineyards with a farmer’s care. The Tiberio siblings have one goal in mind: make wines that clearly speak of the varieties and the land they come from.

92 Points Vinous “Good bright red. Vibrant aromas of red cherry, raspberry, licorice and minerals, complicated by delicate hints of spices (coriander, cumin, tarragon). Then very silky on the palate, but displaying outstanding lift and intensity to the flavors of red cherry, pomegranate, flowers and tar. Very suave but juicy and fresh Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine with none of the heaviness that often drags down wines of this variety. The finish is suave and bracing and shows a delightful light touch.”
