Parcel planted in 1971.
Translation of front label:
This luxuriant vineyard has been producing the most authentic fruit of the earth since 1970, an expression of the territory and its people who, by vocation and since time immemorial, have combined the character of the seasons with the moods of the time, relying on fate and more often on providence.

Inky purple, staining the glass, the 2021 Monteulciano d’Abruzzo is hard to ignore. It shows an intense dried cherry, cedar shaving and clove blend. This is a sweeping and dramatic wine. Vibrant acidity excites the vividly ripe red and blue fruits, and sweet spice saturates toward the close. For all of its power and depth, this cleans up beautifully, citrus-tinged and crunchy with dusty tannins that resonate. Well done. Eric Guido-VINOUS 92pts
