Villa Barcaroli Montepulciano 2022

The 2022 Villa Barcaroli Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is an approachable Italian red from Abruzzo, offering generous dark fruit and a touch of savoury complexity. Made from the Montepulciano grape, it captures the easy drinking charm of this classic central Italian wine region.

Aromas of ripe blackberry, dark cherry and plum are complemented by subtle notes of tobacco, black pepper and gentle smokiness. The palate is medium bodied and juicy, with soft tannins, fresh acidity and a pleasant savoury finish.

A versatile, fruit driven red with enough structure to complement food without feeling heavy. Particularly good alongside tomato based pasta, wood fired pizza or grilled meats.
