Tasting Notes: Reconditioned by the estate, with the bottle being long stored in the family cellar, then opened, tasted, filtered, and re-bottled with a top off of the same vintage, this is as perfect an example you can find of an older Montepulciano. Please note that the cork on the bottle will reflect the year of the reconditioning.
Estate History: The biodynamic master of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Emidio Pepe started his estate in Torano Nuovo Abruzzo in 1964 after learning from his father and grandfather, who both produced wines for Casa Pepe going back to 1889. Emidio saw untapped potential for both Montepulciano and Trebbiano Abruzzi grape types and began work to bring them to their full potential.
Now, 60 years later, this estate is run by Emidio's Granddaughter Chiara and with the help of the entire family continues to be the benchmark for quality in Abruzzo.
