Caroso Montepulciano Riserva 2020
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.

The Story Behind the Bottle
The Abruzzo is one of the loveliest regions of Italy. It lies on the central eastern coast, where the sea and the mountains meet. It's top red grape is Montepulciano, renowned from this region for being deliciously supple and easy drinking, as well as great value. This Riserva shows how the best wines can age magnificently too. Crafted from 100% Montepulciano, hand-picked from vines between 20-40 years old, it is rich with deep cherry and plum fruit. 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. It makes an ace choice with strong cheeses, truffle or mushroom risotto or with roast meats and borlotti bean stew.
