Castorani Amorino Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2018

Savory black-fruit aromas and flavors here, with a nutty edge and some dried herbs. Medium- to full-bodied with bright, lightly grippy tannins and a clean fruit and mineral finish. Nicely structured. Drinkable now, but will easily hold for another few years. [Drink until 2028.] Score – 92. (jamessuckling.com, Sept. 6, 2022)
