The 2005 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo San Calisto saw a fairly long maceration of 25 days followed by 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels. The wine blossoms on the palate with an intense floral quality that is followed by layers of blueberries, spices, mint and sweet oak. The finish is long, pure and refined. This is an especially exuberant, richly-textured Montepulciano to enjoy over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015.
Valle Reale is one of my favorite properties in Abruzzo. These rugged terrains located inside one of Italy’s national parks routinely yield wines of notable character. Consulting oenologist Carlo Ferrini oversees wine making.
