The 2012 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Vecchie Vigne is smoky, meaty and packed full of dark fruit intensity. Notes of black currant, wild brush herbs, white pepper and tobacco can be found from start to finish. It’s soft upon entry and almost fragile in feel, with a tactile mix of nervous acidity and grippy young tannins that keep the expression achingly youthful. There are depths of tart woodland berries and savory spices fighting to surface from beneath the 2012’s hulking structure, yet only time will tell if they’ll ever succeed, as today, this is all elbows and knees.

Abbiamo bevuto questo vino accompagnando tartara di manzo prosciutto patanegra e filetto. Vino eccezzionale ma a mio parere da accompagnamento di carni piu struttutare e grasse. Vino a mio parere ancora troppo giovane e poco strutturata. Andrebbe provato più invecchiato.
