The Torre dei Beati 2015 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Cocciapazza offers an elaborate performance and generally asks more of the Montepulciano grape, pushing its boundaries further than most peers. The name Cocciapazza means "hot head" or "crazy head" in the local dialect and is the name of the contrada in Loreto Aprutino where this winery is located. This wine sees fruit sourced from a two-hectare parcel, but the estate farms a total of 14 hectares that were planted in 1972. Cocciapazza opens to a darkly saturated color with plummy aromas of dark fruit, tobacco and moist earth. This wine ages in barrique for 20 months and is a good match for roasted lamb with mint jelly. Some 10,000 bottles were released.
