Caroso Montepulciano Riserva 2018
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC
Loading...
We know Chianti Riserva, but it's very rare to find a Montepulciano Riserva in the UK. Usually this grape makes juicy-fruit reds for early drinking. This gorgeous complex red, using old-vine fruit and long barrel aged, has lots of silky complexity.

As a Riserva, it must be aged for a minimum of two years – of which six months have to be in barrel. This has had much longer – two years in oak – with extended bottle ageing too.
