Emidio Pepe Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Branella 2021

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is “the king” of the Abruzzo varietals. Emidio Pepe describes it as the wine of the future for its immediate beauty and his aging potential. The vines that make up the Branella parcel were acquired by Emidio Pepe in 1981 but the vines themselves were already well established having been planted in 1966. The terroir here is deep with a higher sand component and more water drainage. This results in a distinctly floral personality.
