Farnese Opi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Riserva 2012

Voluptuous and full-bodied wine with a deep, plush color. The body is substantial, with a firm tannic composition that provides a sense of weight and depth. The nose is driven by by accents of wood, leather, and dried fruit, with traces of plum and cherry. The tongue is similarly layered, with a concentrated oak influence and a soft sweetness that gives way to a long, smooth lasting impression of vanilla and a lingering aftertaste of fruit.

A rich, gentle tasting unfolds, with suggestions of leather, tobacco, and smoke, paired by concentrated chocolate and cherry. The tongue is robust, with tannins that grip and soften, leaving a continuing impression.

Lush and multi faceted wine with a deep, soft mouthfeel and a mild sweetness. The suggestions of deep fruit, chocolate, and coffee are well-balanced and harmonious, with a polished finish. A stonking quality for the price, this Riserva is a must-try for wine enthusiasts.
