Open nose, expressive and very classic. Concentration of cherries and strawberries. Dense and fleshy palate, but with excellent tannic structure.

"Intense, the 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Archivio seduces with its pungent aromatic display, blending cedar shavings with balsamic spices, cooling smoke, plum sauce and grilled herbs.

The 0.43-hectare parcel is located down-slope from grand cru Corton Vergennes. Despite the Aloxe appellation, it is located in the finage of Ladoix. The...
