"A spicy and fleshy red with aromas and flavors of blueberries, plums, mint, chocolate and paprika. It’s medium- to full-bodied with grainy tannins. Good freshness."
Vinous, 90 Points
"The 2022 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is remarkably pretty. It opens with a cascade of violets and lavender before giving way to crushed blackberries and a twist of sour citrus. It's soft and round with saturating wild berry fruits and inner herbal tones, taking on a peppery edge toward the close. Vibrant acidity maintains a fantastic balance as the 2022 tapers off long, potent and gently tannic. This makes for a beautiful introduction to the La Valentina house style."
Winemaker Notes:
"La Valentina Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is an excellent example of the Abruzzo region's most characteristic winea hearty red wine made from 100% Montepulciano grapes. This is the red entry in La Valentina's Classica line, which showcases the traditional wines of Abruzzo at their best."
Alcohol: 13.5%
