2013 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Spelt

The 2013 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Spelt is a dark and brooding wine that shows the power and the muscle of the dramatic Abruzzo landscape. This is a wine of firm consistency and sharp contours, much like the rocky peaks of this mountainous corner of Central Italy. Dark fruit and plum are followed by spice, leather and tobacco. This is a rough and tough red wine for cold winter nights.
