Made from Montepulciano grapes that were picked a little later than usual in various vineyards in San Martino sulla Marrucina. The wine ages for 12 months in barriques half of which are new wood and half used. This is a very young wine and its ruby color has not been affected by age while the bouquet stands out for its fragrance (black cherry and violets) and the nuanced influence of wood aging (dark chocolate). The mouthfeel is not as rich as one would expect but it is lively and taut, spicy (pepper) at the center of the palate and with tannins that still need to settle a tad. Splendid.
