Montepulciano Abruzzo Poggio Felice 2019 (6x 750mL), Abruzzo, Italy.

Description:

Montepulciano ripens late and has a tendency to favour producing large yields.

The grapes can be plump with a low skin to juice ratio.

However, the skin has a fair amount of pigmented tannins and colour producing phenols that with maceration can produce either a deep ruby coloured wine or a pink Cerasuolo wine.

Compared to most Italian varieties, Montepulciano has moderately low acidity and more mild (i.e. softer) than bitter edged tannins.

Wine expert Oz Clarke describes Montepulciano as producing a "round, plummy and weighty red with ripe tannins, good acidity and a low price tag.

Jancis Robinson evaluates Montepulciano as a "promising variety" that produces smooth, drinkable wines that can improve for three or four years after vintage.
