The 2006 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Divus from Ciavolich is absolutely delicious. Medium in body, the wine sparkles with brilliant, vibrant fruit. Subtle notes of earthiness, spices and new leather add complexity on the finish. The estate also makes a notable Pecorino that is well worth the effort of seeking out. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. Importer: Clyde Thomas Llc, New York, NY; tel. (212) 343-9100
