description: This is one of those “wow” wines you encounter on fortunate but rare occasions that radically changes the way you think about a relatively unknown, workhorse grape like Montepulciano d'Abbruzzo. Gianni Masciarelli is a solid and passionate winemaker who has expertly extracted both elegance and complexity: Black cherry, espresso, chocolate and licorice are reinforced by impenetrable concentration, raw intensity, solid tannins and extreme persistency on the finish.
variety: Montepulciano
designation: Villa Gemma
