Masciarelli Marina Cvetic Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva 2014 (94 JD)

“The 2014 Marina Cvetic Riserva is 100% Montepulciano that spent 12-18 months in new French oak. This killer wine offers terrific depth of fruit and concentration to go with notes of cassis and blackberry fruits, ground herbs, chocolate, and lots of gravely minerality. Ripe, sexy, and opulent, it shows more and more elegance, as well as a distinct floral character, with time in the glass, has building tannin, and should age beautifully. It’s a steal at the price.”

    Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

    The Montepulciano Marina Cvetic represents an intense and remarkable expression of one of the historical vines of Abruzzo.  The 100% Montepulciano comes from eight of the estate's top parcels, across an altitude of 500 to 1,200 feet above sea level, on soils of calcareous clay and lime.  In these vineyards, we find not only the traditional Abruzzo pergola vine training, but also Simple Guyot and Spur Cordon as well.
