Fattoria Nicodemi’s 2005 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is a wine that readers are likely to find absolutely irresistible. It offers notable clarity in its vibrant dark fruit, with lovely inner perfume and a focused purity that gives the wine a sense of balance and poise. This is an incredibly delicious wine for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010.
Fattoria Nicodemi is a great source for wines from Abbruzzo. Their Cerasuolo is often one of my favorite roses, but the entire lineup is well worth discovering.
