When it comes to Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, we’ve spun the wheel of fortune enough times to know that the needle rarely lands on the jackpot, but we’re spinners, we keep on spinning, and our persistence has been richly rewarded! It’s the deep, plush and glossy Montepulciano d'Abruzzo that we always hope to find, but it’s not weighed down by too much alcohol, sweetness or oxidised flavours, it is alive with energy, with a core of moreishly succulent cherry fruit, and a sleek and lustrous texture. The only think that’s wrong with it is its name, ‘Monolith’, because that’s exactly what it isn’t, it has many tones, many textures, many layers. Drink this buxom beauty with timballo abruzzese, porchetta abruzzese, or polenta all'abruzzese. Just trying to keep it local! 14% alc. Drink now-2027.
