This is the top-shelf wine from Torre dei Beati. The 2015 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Mazzamarello is named after a mythic little fairy that is part of Abruzzo folklore. The Montepulciano grape never lacks texture to begin with, but this organically grown expression is particularly supple and smooth, with lots of black fruit, spice and savory tobacco. The wine undergoes a long aging period that extends over 20 months, with close attention paid to lees contact and stirring of the lees (or batonnage), thus building up the wine's generous fiber and texture. Celebrate it with a well-marbled steak. Some 6,000 bottles were made.

The 2012 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Mazzamarello is a beautiful achievement from Torre dei Beati. Dark fruit layers of plum, blackberry and dried cherries are woven into to the wine's thick texture. Soft layers of Indian spice, nutmeg and cardamom also appear at the back. The wine's thick consistency and rich texture wrap smoothly over the palate. This interpretation of the Montepulciano grape (with 20 months in barrique) shows both power and balance.

The estate’s 2009 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Mazzamarello wraps around the palate with layers of silky dark, red fruit. This is an especially polished, refined Montepulciano that shows the more elegant side of what this grape is capable of. Sweet floral and spice notes add even more finesse to the long, supple finish. This juicy, expressive red is a terrific effort from Torre dei Beati. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2019. Importer: Artisan Wine, Norwalk, CT; tel. (203) 866-4552
