“The 2022 Colline Teramane Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Cocciopesto has a compelling bouquet of crushed black raspberries, sage, blood orange and exotic spice. Its ripe wild berry fruits are seamlessly silky with no hard edges in sight, while a gentle citrus tinge adds complexity toward the close. Grippy tannins frame the long, pleasantly chewy finish. This is a strong effort for a warm and dry vintage.”
