Emidio Pepe: Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Vecchie Vigne 2007

Parker über: Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Vecchie Vigne

-- Parker: Here's a wine that confirms the hype that surrounds Emidio Pepe. The 2007 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a dark and penetrating red wine with an enormous sense of focus and tension. The fruit layers are bright and shapely with a wild and unruly side. The wine's intensity is also driven by elegant spice, tobacco, wet earth, resin and grilled herb. This is an organic wine with a very evident counterculture, non-intuitive approach that immediately grabs your interest and ultimately your heart. It offers a charming, embracive and encompassing style.
