Crushed black cherries, blueberry skins, sage, stone dust and hints of animal musk, all come together to form a deeply satisfying bouquet on the 2017 Tiberio Montepulciano. On the palate, soft, round textures give way to a twang of tart wild berry fruits, complemented by saline-minerals and then firmed up with grippy tannins. The finish is long and structured, yet still packed with spicy primary fruits and remaining fresh through residual acids. I know Cristiana isn’t a big fan of her warmer vintage wines, but the 2017 has the stuffing to improve in our cellars while still pleasing today.

2012. Bowls of cherries and a snappy finish.

2012 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo in the garden. Birdsong. Crisp, juicy red fruits and dusty gray stones.

It's the 2015, and it's irresistible. The nose was a dark and woodsy with a display of crushed raspberry, currants, roasted pecan, crushed stone and undergrowth. On the palate, I found silky textures matched by mineral-laden cherry with a twist of orange citrus, minerals and a hint a tannin. The finish was medium-long as the fruit gained a tart twang, with hints of savory herbs and a touch of exotic spice. Compared to the classic and cool 2014, the 2015 presents a happy middle ground of ripeness and structure. I'm loving it!

Sappy, fresh, luscious fruit like a four-berry pie with silky tannins to balance.

Uncomplicated. I am going to eat a Hershey’s bar and watch the Sandlot

An example of what I've been hoping to find in Montepulciano d'abruzzo. Clean, transparent, juicy fruit in a linear package with firm but never rustic tannin.

An elegant and well-priced wine. Sour cherry, dark plums, licorice, hints of dried flowers and light spice. Bigger than I recall previous vintages of this wine being, but still not as big as many other Montepulcianos — a little more streamlined. It has plenty of freshness and grippy tannins on the finish. Enjoyed with sausage pizza. Interview with Cristiana Tiberio here: https://bit.ly/2VXomiw
