2000 Emidio Pepe Montepulciano d'Abruzzo "Decanted", Abruzzo, Italy
ABOUT THIS WINE
This Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a testament to the aging potential of Emidio Pepe's wines. The 2000 vintage, decanted for optimal enjoyment, offers an evolved expression of the varietal, with a balance of tertiary flavors and lingering fruit. Made with traditional methods, including foot-treading and hand destemming, the wine undergoes long fermentation in concrete tanks and is bottled unfiltered.
The "Decanted" label highlights wines aged to maturity, allowing their full character to shine through after proper decanting.
