Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Marina Cvetic Masciarelli, rich, soft, top Montepulciano. Masciarelli is an icon of wine making in Abruzzo. His wines always deliver on weight, richness but also freshness and drinkability. The Marina Cvetic is their go-to Montepulciano, sourced from three vineyard sites that are mostly around 30 years old. The style here is big wine with a sense of balance, deep, dark, brooding black fruits, earth, truffle and mineral, all surrounded by copious yet ripe tannins and well balanced acidity. Perfect for steaks.

Andrew Turner –
I know this wine from living for a time in the region in which is it made. So glad to have found a source of supply in the UK. Try it, you will not be dispapointed but do not buy it all – leave some for me!
