Barone Cornacchia Casanova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022
One of our biggest selling premium Monte's.
A fresh and richly fruited Montepulciano from a quality traditional producer, who now uses organic methods. Cornacchia's vineyard soils are stony and calcerous, which makes them well-drained in addition to the aromatic brightness added by the presence of lime. With an altitude of 240 metres, these closely managed and certified organic sites offer perfect conditions for a beautifully balanced and food-orientated Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.
Deep ruby red with violet-purple reflections. Huge, fruity bouquet; black cherry and herb scented. Lush currant fruit with velvety soft tannins and perfect fruit acid balance. A wine of great harmony and intensity. The finish is long and spicy.
"This is a youthful and juicy montepulciano that has aromas of blueberries, wet herbs and violets. It’s full-bodied with broad, berry-soaked tannins. From organically grown grapes. Try from 2025." 91/100 JamesSuckling.com, Claire Nesbitt
"A zesty blend of crushed wild berries, sage and wet stone wafts up from the 2022 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Casanova. It's cool-toned with ripe red and black fruits. Fresh acidity flows beneath an air of violet inner florals. It leaves a subtle tannic crunchiness and primary concentration yet finishes remarkably fresh." Drink 2024 - 2028 89/100 Vinous, Eric Guido
