Amorotti Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2016
Gaetano Carboni captured something quite special in this Montepulciano bottling, creating a wine with inviting, supple and juicy red fruit. There is a vein of earth and depth in the wine alongside alluring spice undertones, but more than anything, it is the impeccable balance that makes an impact. Fine-grained tannins and lifted acidity give the wine elegance more often seen in Sangiovese and Nebbiolo than Montepulciano. This is remarkably good Montepulciano with a long life in the cellar ahead of it - that is, if you can resist pulling the cork now.

The 2016 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is fruit-forward and intense, showing balsamic-spiced raspberry with exotic florals and cherry tobacco. Velvety textures are firmed up by a more savory set of red and blue fruits. Brisk acids add further energy, creating a perfectly balanced expression. This is long and structured, tugging at the cheeks with grippy tannins and lingering minerals, yet its primary fruit remains front and center. Although you’d expect the 2016 Amorotti to be a bigger wine from its bouquet, instead it handles its 14% abv with ease and will likely improve with a few years of cellaring.
