“Darkly floral, the 2021 Colline Teramane Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Notari lifts from the glass with a cascade of grilled herbs, smoke and crushed blackberries. This is round and supple with a solid ripe red and blue fruit core, guided by juicy acidity as sweet autumnal spices swirl throughout. The 2021 tapers off with outstanding length, leaving notes of wild berry jam and sage over a bed of soft-contoured tannins. The Notari is not only a joy to drink, but it's also a fantastic value when considering the quality in the bottle.”
