Jasci e Marchesani Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC 2023

Tasting Notes: A sweet blend of violet and lavender gives way to crushed blackberries as this Montepulciano d’Abruzzo blossoms in the glass. It’s soft and round, fresh in style, with pretty floral-tinged fruits and juicy acidity. The wine tapers off with admirable length and liquid stone minerality, leaving sweet tannins to frame the experience nicely.​ ​Food Pairings: Meats from beef, pork and chicken. Pasta dishes and mature cheese.​ ​Vinous: “The 2023 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is savory in the glass, with crushed blackberries and sage forming its bouquet. Soothingly dark and rich, it swirls across the palate with ripe red and black fruits, all guided by cooling acidity. The 2023 leaves a pleasantly chewy sensation and bitter tine, finishing long and staining with a resonance of licorice that lingers.”
