"The 2016 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is fruit-forward and intense, showing balsamic-spiced raspberry with exotic florals and cherry tobacco. Velvety textures are firmed up by a more savory set of red and blue fruits. Brisk acids add further energy, creating a perfectly balanced expression. This is long and structured, tugging at the cheeks with grippy tannins and lingering minerals, yet its primary fruit remains front and center. Although you’d expect the 2016 Amorotti to be a bigger wine from its bouquet, instead it handles its 14% abv with ease and will likely improve with a few years of cellaring."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
