The 2007 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Cocciapazza emerges from the glass with black cherries, smoke, tar, leather, scorched earth and licorice. The 2007 is a big, broad shouldered Montepulciano imbued with personality. The ripeness of the fruit contrasts some of the more rustic elements quite nicely. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.
