Among Dino Illuminati's Montepulciano-based reds, the 2010 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Riserva Zanna is the most distinctive. Compared to the others, Riserva Zanna is riper and bolder with thicker extraction and a larger framework. The bouquet is redolent of blackberry, currant, Indian spice, Graham cracker and smoked bacon. Everything feels bigger about this wine including the mouthfeel. Only the persistency holds back and the wine is moderately short on the mid-palate. There is a touch of tight tannic astringency as well.
