Antonio Chiavaroli's Marramiero 2016 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Dama shows bright fruit tones, plummy notes and black cherry. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in barrique for 10 months, the results are simple and forthcoming, with enough fruit fiber to pair with a spicy sausage pizza. An ample 150,000 bottles were made.

Up-front notes of ripe blackberry, black licorice, dried herb and smoke are layered with chewy tannins in this bright, light- to medium-bodied red. Drink now through 2020. 10,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Select to Add
