The estate’s 2005 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva Opi offers up blueberry jam, mint, spices and flowers in an intense, opulent style. The copious French oak works nicely here and serves to give the wine an attractive richness and volume that carries the fruit through to the fat finish. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2017.
