The estate’s 2006 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Toni is a fabulous wine bursting with exotic dark fruit, smoke, leather, licorice, tar and spices. Eighteen months in French oak have given the Toni superb density and richness, but everything is in perfect balance. This is a thrilling, authoritative Montepulciano from Cataldi Madonna, the only thing it needs is time. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2026.
Cataldi Madonna is a great source for delicious wines from Abruzzo. The Montepulcianos are terrific and the Cerasuolo is consistently one of the best roses in Italy.
