Cantinarte, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo "Ode" Abruzzo, Italy 2019

Ode Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is a monovarietal Montepulciano fermented in stainless steel, conceived to bring to the fore the freshness and fragrance of its pristine fruit.

Its intense violet-nuanced ruby color is an enticement to explore this fragrant, oak-free Montepulciano d’Abruzzo.

The crisp varietal aromas hint at berry fruit, bottled black cherries and a whisper of wild strawberries. Ode is innately robust with good structure and concentration, admirably sustained by its bold acidity. Close-knit, perfectly evolved tannins hit the spot to give the wine its amazingly round palate profile.
