The Pepe family have been growing grapes between the Adriatic Sea and the Appenine Mountains in Abruzzo since the late 1800's. They work the vineyards biodynamically, producing soulful, old-school wines that taste as if they were from another age. Their Montepulciano comes from a 50 year old vineyard planted over clay and limestone. Grapes are de-stemmed by hand and spent just a week on their skins, followed by two years resting in concrete vats. From a warmer vintage, this is deep, dark and powerful, and despite being almost two decades old it is still packed full of fruit and has a long life ahead.
