Tiberio Colle Vota Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021

Intense, expressive, highly complex flavours of yellow peach, sage, cedar, cinnamon, marzipan, spices and soil. Long, deep, creamy, mouth filling texture with refined, silky tannins and saline character. Finishes with intense energy.

Wildly perfumed and elegant from the first tilt of the glass, the 2021 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colle Vota wafts up with a bouquet of confectionary spices, dusty dried flowers, incense and dried strawberries. This is graceful and lifted in feel, with chalky mineral tones and woodland berries propelled by tantalizing acidity. A savory herbal tinge lingers through the long and tannic finish as the Colle Vota tapers off with tremendous length and a resonance of lavender pastille. It's a radiant Montepulciano built for the cellar.  - 96pts Vinous
