Boasting a young and hip approach with fun orange packaging, the Podere Castorani 2016 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo delivers a fruit-forward and accessible style. The wine is redolent of dark fruit, plum, smoke and toasted spice. It wraps over the palate with mid-weight intensity and balanced freshness. It's another great Montepulciano for some bucatini all'amatriciana covered with Pecorino Romano.

A beefy mature red that quickly opens to reveals layers of sanguine, grilled herb and aged leather that are backed by a core of dried cherry and blackberry notes. Finishes with an aftertaste of ash.
