The fruit for this exceptional wine comes from an eight hectare, south-facing vineyard situated at 350 meters above sea level. The vines are Massal selections that were carefully propagated from the estate’s original Montepulciano plantings – the Archivio vines – in 2000. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally. There is no maceration and the wine ages in stainless steel, spending a few months in bottle before release. It is bottled unfined, unfiltered and one of the finest examples of the grape variety.
“Spicy to the core, the 2022 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo wafts up with a blend of crushed cherries and wild berries, dusty violets, lavender and traces of incense. This is elegant in feel with silken textures and rich red and blue fruits. A crisp mineral sensation forms toward the close. The 2022 leaves the palate drenched in primary concentration, finishing with edgy tannins offset by a spike of residual acidity. Frankly, it's incredible that this is Tiberio's entry-level red, as the 2022 displays impressive depth and complexity. It's also a tremendous value. This is the total package.” 94 points - Eric Guido, Vinous
“Good bright ruby-red. Blackberry, red cherry and dark plum on the nose, complicated by smoky minerals and an enticing whiff of blood orange. Enters fresh and juicy but with a distinctly luscious quality to its very ripe dark berry and cherry flavours, freshened by repeating nuances of blood orange. Closes broad and lush, with a saline element, hints of sweet spices and Montepulciano’s typical substantial tannins. This was obviously a good vintage for the Montepulciano variety.” 93 points - Ian D’Agata, Terroir Sense
