2022 Memoro Montepulciano D'Abruzzo

The Place

Mario Piccini opens the doors of his cellar, inviting you to taste his "Collezione Privata”. This selection has been meticulously curated by Mario Piccini himself, and his signature on each bottle stands as a personal guarantee of the wine's quality. 

Winemaking

After destemming and crushing, the grapes undergo a slow temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Following maceration, the wine is aged for 12 months in a combination of large barrels, barriques, and second and third passage tonneaux, with specific barrels reserved for the Sangiovese and barriques and tonneaux for the international varieties. The result is a harmonious and well-structured wine with rich complexity. 

Tasting Notes

Showcases a deep red hue. The bouquet reveals its rich and opulent essence, adorned with hints of spices, chocolate, ripe plums, and blackberries. The first sip is marked by a subtle sweetness leading to a prosperous and full-bodied experience. Flavors of licorice, resin, and ripe fruits dance on the palate, pleasing the senses. The supple tannins contribute to a velvety texture, weaving a lingering and profound finish.
