Torre dei Beati's oldest Montepulciano vineyard was planted in 1972 by Fausto's father-in-law, Rocco. When he's not restoring ruined palazzos, Fausto Albanesi spends his energy revitalising the reputation of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo — one of Italy's most maligned DOCs, thanks to decades of mass-market overproduction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Following the established house style across recent vintages, the wine smoulders up with mentholated herbal tones and a dusting of cocoa powder before giving way to dried black cherry and violet pastille aromas. It's round and soft in texture, with saturating red and blue fruits, while a core of brisk acidity maintains fantastic balance — finishing gently tannic and long, with a twang of bitter dark chocolate. Expect black cherries and blackberries with hints of roasted spices and dark chocolate on the nose, medium-bodied with chewy tannins and a tight, slightly granular finish. Seamless dark cherry fruit and subtle woodsmoke make this an excellent partner for grilled meats. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation takes place in steel tank and oak barrels — mainly used French oak barriques — for 15–18 months. Fausto Albanesi's wines are a perfect example of how new oak can be an excellent pairing with Montepulciano when used judiciously, and this entry-level wine makes for a wonderful introduction to the Torre dei Beati style — one of the best entry-level offerings in the region\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Torre dei Beati","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39563763613794,"sku":"BBW-WINE-264","price":53.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/products\/torre-dei-beati-montepulciano-dabruzzo.png?v=1781862094","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/torre-dei-beati-montepulciano-dabruzzo-organic","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
