A phenomenal wine, Colle Volta is a unique example of both place and grape variety that is renowned for its elegance as it develops into a new biotype of Montepulciano. In-depth detail on this regal wine HERE.
From a 1.6 hectares of massale selected Montepulciano planted in 2000 at 350 metres to limestone and marly-clay over sandstone. Spontaneously fermented for 20 days in temperature controlled stainless steel. Aged in tank and then a few months in bottle before release. Unfined, unfiltered.
“The 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colle Vota is a spice box on the nose, with wilted violets and hints of spiced-orange, white smoke, clove and dried black cherries. It's pleasantly sweet upon entry, with a cool toned feel and lavender-laced wild berry fruits that gain in tension and complexity as a flinty-mineral concentration forms toward the close. This resonates like liquid velvet, leaving sweet tannins offset by hints of sour citrus, finishing long and potent. The balance within is otherworldly. This elegant and harmonious Colle Vota will pay dividends in the cellar, and I wouldn't be surprised if it warrants a higher score down the road.” 96+ points - Eric Guido, Vinous
“Good deep, bright red. Knockout aromas and flavours of dark fruits, violet, licorice, menthol and flint. Dense but seamless, with wonderfully precise broad, palate-staining red fruit and mineral flavours. Offers a texture of liquid velvet but also boasts a light touch that is very Colle Vota. The long aftertaste features fine-grained tannins, wonderful class and depth.” 95 points. Drink 2026-2031 - Ian D’Agata, Terroir Sense
