Score 91/100 · Drink 2013, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2006
Just beginning to show some tertiary nuances, the 1998 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is another terrific effort from this estate. It offers multi-dimensional nuances of leather, tar and cherries on soft, delicate frame supported by youthful but fine tannins with excellent freshness on the finish. Ideally another few years of cellaring are called for after which this wine will provide great drinking for several decades.

About the producer

Emidio Pepe
Emidio Pepe is a star of the Abruzzo region and one of Italy’s most famous names. Worshipped by natural-wine lovers for its low-intervention approach, this estate makes category-defying, age-worthy examples of Montepulciano, Trebbiano and Cerasolo d’Abruzzo, as well as Pecorino Colli Aprutini.
