Sold out
This is Montepulciano 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. Montelpulciano is a powerful, somewhat wild grape that really requires patience and time. From this warmer vintage, this is a wine that is already quite open, with plenty of fruit, plush tannins and a pleasant spice to the finish.
Emidio Pepe
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 takes on Trebbiano, Montelpulciano and more recently, Pecorino are nothing short of epic and are built to age.
