Dark and penetrating, the 2010 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Riserva Pieluni is a wonderful interpretation of Abruzzo's mighty red grape. This wine is packed tight with intensity and long-lasting flavor. You get sharp notes of black fruit, spice, dark chocolate and tobacco. This is an elegant and articulate red wine with soft consistency and a very likable style that is both forthcoming and layered. Riserva Pieluni ages in barrique for two years. It should continue to evolve in your cellar over the course of the next decade (but probably not much longer).
