Drinkable red with a delicate oak presence, but nothing that stands out as markedly exceptional.

What the web is saying

Il Cantico Montepulciano d'Abruzzo offers a rich, fruity taste with deep consistency. Some find it crisp and refreshing, while others note a substantial tanginess and high tannins. It features flavors of Asian pear, pomelo, and dried fruits with gentle oak. The wine is smooth and medium-bodied, yet some vintages are noted for being not quite ready to drink.

Voss Experts4.5

This Montepulciano d'Abruzzo presents a deep ruby hue, indicative of its robust character. The nose opens with an enticing bouquet of ripe black cherries and plums, underscored by hints of dried herbs and a subtle earthiness. On the palate, it reveals a medium to full-bodied structure, with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides balance and lift. The wine's core of dark fruit flavors is complemented by nuances of cocoa and a whisper of spice, leading to a lingering, harmonious finish. A quintessential expression of Montepulciano, showcasing both regional typicity and finesse.
