The 2008 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Villa Gemma is a dark and impenetrable wine with an inky black appearance. The wine pours from the bottle with thick intensity and layers of blackberry confit, bitter chocolate, exotic spice, scorched earth and Cuban cigar. This is a big wine with broad shoulders, although this cooler vintage takes some of that characteristic opulence down a notch or two.

A seamless red, with fine-grained tannins and juicy acidity framing the bright layers of crushed blackberry, star anise and plum sauce. Reveals a brooding core of rich smoke, graphite, leather and espresso. Drink now through 2027. 100 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Select to Add

The 2007 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Villa Gemma is a tremendous wine that opens to an inky dark appearance and impenetrable concentration. This is a massive effort that shows beautiful integration and balance, albeit with super-sized intensity (it ages in barrique for 18 months). Dried blackberry, cherry liqueur, smoke, tar, road pavement, licorice, grilled herb cured meat compete for your attention. The wine is built like a tank with firm structure at the back and many deep layers of chewy fruit flavors.

Toasty and ambitious, this red features baking spice, smoke and burnt chocolate notes alongside rich flavors of roasted plum and dark berry confiture. Full tannins and bitter almond accents emerge on the powerful finish. Drink now through 2020. 200 cases imported.??–NW??Region: Italy / Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Select to Add
