Tiberio, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colle Vota, 2022 ITALYCOUNT It's hard to picture aTiberio offers heirloom Abruzzo wines at everyday prices, and Cristiana Tiberio has become one of the region's true icons of sustainable, terroir driven farming. This is the estate's Montepulciano d'Abruzzo from the Colle Vota site, a grape that can easily turn jammy and dull but here stays fresh, perfumed and savory. Tiberio's high altitude, calcareous vineyards and light cellar hand keep the fruit dark but vibrant, with structure rather than weight.
