Wine Description:
Jorio is Umani Ronchi’s selected Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC. It was created in the mid-nineties to express the great potential of this varietal, in collaboration with fanatically dedicated Abruzzese winegrowers with vineyards in particularly favourable areas for its growth. The name of the wine is intended as a tribute to the great twentieth-century Abruzzese poet Gabriele D’Annunzio, who made his wild, provincial native soil into a “barbaric” novelty, exciting and transgressive, with which he stirred and won the public’s favour. Here is D’Annunzio’s dedication to his pastoral tragedy The daughter of Jorio: “To the land of Abruzzi, to my mother, to my sisters, to my brother in exile, to my buried father, to all my dead, to all my people between the mountains and the sea, this song of ancient blood I consecrate.”
Pros:
  • Smooth and mellow tannins that give the wine a balanced mouthfeel

Cons:
  • The alcohol content is on the high side, making it a bit too strong for some drinkers

Wine Expert Note:

This Umani Ronchi Jorio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a bold and robust red wine with dark berry flavors and sweet spice. The nose is filled with aromas of dark cherry, ripe plum, and subtle notes of smoke and leather. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and full-bodied, with a dense core of dark fruit, savory spices, and a hint of earthy tobacco. The finish is long and smooth, with ripe tannins that linger on the palate. Overall, this is an excellent expression of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, offering a well-balanced and enjoyable drinking experience.

The story of Donini begins at the turn of the 20th century, in a trattoria located in Milano. Many regulars would stay after closing to chat with the owner, Signore Donini, while indulging in a good glass of wine. He soon began sourcing attractive wines to bear his own name for his customers' private cellars. Today, Donini offers a collection of important and popular Italian varieties and denominations, primarily from the Veneto, known for their quality and affordability. Their Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is deep ruby red with an intense, berry-like bouquet.
