2017 Wine EnthusiastThis light- to medium-bodied Montepulciano boasts a cohesive nose of ripe dark cherry, plum juice, anise and tobacco leaf on the nose and palate. It's bright and tangy in feel, honed in by a gentle hug of raspy tannins. This is a great weekday red to be enjoyed alongside pasta marinara.

2015 Wine Advocate“Soft and luscious, the 2015 Montepulciano
d’Abruzzo Tritàno is a great wine to pair with
easy pasta dishes with sweet tomato and salty
Parmigiano cheese. This is a simple and genuine
wine that delivers the power and the intensity of the
Montepulciano grape. The variety is also yielding in
terms of its tannic structure, and that’s what makes
this red so food friendly and accessible.”Shelf TalkerFull Review

2013 Wine Enthusiast“Aromas of ripe black-skinned berry and a whiff
of cooking spice lift out of the glass. The solid
straightforward palate offers black currant, dried
cherry and clove framed in seasoned tannins.”
