Fosso Corno ORSUS Riserva Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2019

A Riserva made from 100% Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, with hand-harvested grapes from selected parcels. Vinification uses controlled fermentation and long maceration to highlight fruit, tannins and complexity, followed by ageing in French and Italian oak for depth, finesse and longevity. The wine comes from Abruzzo, Italy, an area known for powerful Montepulciano wines with ageing potential, with a Mediterranean climate of warm days and cool nights and clay and limestone soils. The nose shows ripe berries, cherry, spices, chocolate and discreet tobacco notes. The palate is full, complex and well balanced with integrated tannins and fresh acidity, with a medium to full-bodied, refined, long finish.
