Colle Mammut - Montepulciano D'Abruzzo - 2019

$48.00

Cascina del Colle farms this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo in the DOC's traditional style: 100% Montepulciano, hand-selected fruit picked late in October, then aged roughly 15 months in 5-hectoliter tonneaux after full malolactic fermentation. Nicknamed Mammut, and the wine has the size to match. Plum and blackcurrant jam lead the nose, backed by dark chocolate and forest floor. It's a real step up from everyday Abruzzo reds without the collector price tag. Pour it with anything off the grill.

Plum, blackcurrant jam, dark chocolate and forest floor on the nose, with a savory streak of sage and hoisin-like umami. Medium-bodied and round in the mouth, the fruit carries through to a long finish with an acidic tail.

Classic matches for a red like this: Grilled and roasted meats, hearty pastas, aged cheeses.

Cascina del Colle hand-harvests Montepulciano into late October for this bottling. Mammut goes through full malolactic fermentation and rests about 15 months in 5-hectoliter tonneaux, a step up in ambition from the stainless-steel norm for everyday Abruzzo reds.
