The 2006 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is a delicious, mouthfilling red. It offers terrific density and persistence in its ripe dark fruit, earthiness and licorice. This is an especially harmonious Montepulciano. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010. I continue to be impressed with the wines of Cataldi Madonna, one of Abruzzo’s top estates.Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
