Wine Spectator
“A dark core of blackberry and boysenberry fruit is enlivened by plum skin acidity in this lively, medium-bodied red. Savory hints of tar and leather push through on the midpalate, with cured tobacco and anise, lingering on the lightly chewy finish. Drink now through 2029. 6,000 cases made, 4,000 cases imported.”
Highlights
Torre Zambra Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Valle Maris 2024
Marmalade-like aromas of red berries with a hint of violets on the nose. Balanced and powerful on the palate with a hint of liquorice on the finish.
A warm, Mediterranean vine-growing paradise, in Abruzzo, the distance from mountains to seaside is relatively short. The Apenniness, which run through the center of Italy, rise up on its western side while the Adriatic Sea defines its eastern border.
Wine composition tends to two varieties: Abruzzo’s red grape, Montepulciano and its white, Trebbiano. Montepulciano d’Abruzzo can come in a quaffable, rustic and fruity style that generally drinks best young. It is also capable of making a more serious style, where oak aging tames its purely wild fruit.
