Talamonti 2006 Tre Saggi Montepulciano (Montepulciano d'Abruzzo)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
This modern expression of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo has been shaped by lavish use of oak that translates into aromas of chocolate and vanilla bean. There is definitely enough pulpy fruit and natural spice to mellow out those oak tones. The overall effect is that of an integrated and healthy wine.
