The 2008 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is a rich, powerful wine loaded with dark fruit, violets, flowers and minerals, all of which come together with unsual grace. This exquisite entry-level Montepulciano offers dazzling clarity, finesse and vibrancy. It is a steal for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013. Cataldi Madonna is a great source for delicious wines from Abruzzo. The Montepulcianos are terrific and the Cerasuolo is consistently one of the best roses in Italy.Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
