Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Plateo shows a deep ruby red color and nuances of
garnet red, impenetrable to the light. The nose reveals intense, clean,
pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of black
cherry, blackberry and plum followed by aromas of dried violet, blueberry,
vanilla, tobacco, licorice, chocolate, cinnamon, leather, mace and menthol.
The mouth has excellent correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and
however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, pleasing
smoothness. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of black cherry,
blackberry and plum. A well made wine. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Plateo ages
for 24 months in steel tanks, 24 months in barrique and 24 months in
bottle. |

I was new to this Italian grape but I found it amazing. This wine is full bodied and very rich, although round with a perfect balance in tannins. The nose too is amazing with intense aromas of cherries, blackberries and black currant, as well as dark flowers and elegant spicy notes. A very good wine.
