Tiberio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, a winemaking masterpiece, thrives in calcareous clay. A meticulous 10- to 14-day fermentation, direct pressing, and late malolactic fermentation yield complexity. Exclusive one-year steel tank aging maintains precision. Deep red with violet reflections, it unleashes an explosive array—wild berries, cherries, blueberries, mingling with dark licorice, fresh meat, and ethereal herbs. The palate delights with grippy, finely structured tannins, transitioning from creamy to fresh, stony to clear. Redefining Montepulciano, it's a captivating play of textures—creamy to fresh, stony to clear. Crisp dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, cedarwood notes, absent of wood influence. An extraordinary, balanced complexity.
