Tasting Notes: The Amorotti Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a aromatic and deeply flavored red from Abruzzo. Purple fruit, smoke, iron and a touch of wild herbs spread across the palate on this vibrant wine from new star producer Amorotti. 

Gaetano’s Montepulciano vines were planted back in 2011 on primarily clay soil. Pergola abruzzese and guyot training system take part in the process. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in 50 hectoliters large barrels of Slavonian oak, untoasted, for 2 weeks long with daily Delestage. The wine is then aged for 23 months in oak where it undergoes malolactic fermentation, and left unfiltered and unclarified. Only 8,500 bottles are produced. This wine is similar to a playful Doberman, in the sense that it appears to be ferocious and rigid but it in fact is friendly but just likes to play rough. Ripe black berries, earth, and subtle hints of thyme can be found present on the nose; while on the palate there is an awakening of supple red and black berries. The wine has depth and will unveil itself with more time open but the fine tannins still keeps this wine surprisingly polished. 

Estate History: Winemaker Gaetano Carboni’s organic family farm is set against the backdrop of the Gran Sasso Mountains near the Adriatic. Neighbors with Trebbiano legends Valentini, who helped them to begin making their own wine,  having previously sold their grapes.  The estate is 50 hectares composed of mainly woodland and pastures where of those 50 hectares only 5 are dedicated to vines. Following the guidance of neighbor and historic wine-maker Francesco Valentini, Gaetano was able to begin planting in the early 2000s and converting the estate to follow all organic and natural practices. Geatano sold his grapes to outer sources for years until 2016 where he sold his first commercially produced wine Tebbiano d'Abruzzo. With only few years producing commercially the Amorotti winery is making waves, producing wines that goes against the conventional but also still giving its nod to the legends like Valentini and Emido Pepe.
