2022 Tiberio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Abruzzo, Italy
ABOUT THE WINE
Sourced from estate vineyards in Abruzzo, near the foothills of the Gran Sasso massif and influenced by Adriatic breezes, this Montepulciano reflects a unique balance of mountain freshness and Mediterranean warmth. Calcareous-clay soils contribute structure and aromatic lift, while careful vineyard management ensures optimal ripeness without excess weight.
The 2022 vintage highlights purity and precision. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel to preserve varietal character, followed by aging primarily in tank or neutral vessels to maintain freshness and transparency. The result is a wine that emphasizes vibrant dark fruit—black plum, sour cherry, and blueberry—alongside subtle earthy and herbal nuances.
Approachable yet structured, this Montepulciano pairs beautifully with grilled meats, pasta with ragù, roasted eggplant, or aged pecorino. Its balance of acidity and tannin makes it both versatile at the table and capable of short- to mid-term cellaring.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Azienda Agricola Tiberio is a family-run estate dedicated to expressing the indigenous varieties of Abruzzo with authenticity and precision. Founded in the early 2000s, the winery quickly gained recognition for its meticulous vineyard research and commitment to native grapes such as Montepulciano and Trebbiano Abruzzese.
The estate practices sustainable farming, emphasizing low yields and careful site selection to highlight the region’s limestone-rich soils and mountain-coastal climate. In the cellar, the philosophy centers on minimal intervention and clarity of expression. The 2022 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo exemplifies Tiberio’s approach—energetic, terroir-driven, and unmistakably rooted in Abruzzo.
