Emidio Pepe Branella Vigne Vecchie Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022

The 2022 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Vecchie Vigne Branella continues to evolve beautifully in bottle. A seductive array of lavender, rose and crushed violet candies complement wild blueberry fruit as a spicy gingery tinge slowly emerges. It’s racy and energetic in feel, with zesty acidity contrasting a core of tart wild berries. Chalky mineral tones saturate the palate. Grippy tannins take hold through the finish, yet displaying fantastic freshness. A pleasantly bitter tinge punctuates the 2022's spicy nature. In a word: Wow.
