Color:
The wine shows a rich purple colour with a garnet red rim, slightly translucent, clear and shiny in the glass.
Nose:
The scent of this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo from the Tonamphore is puristic and clear from the start. Deep plum meets dark heart cherry. Both seem a little as if they were pickled in cherry liqueur together with black pepper, laurel and thyme as well as some liquorice and tamarind. The latter give the wine a suitable grounding.
Palate:
Also on the palate, the 2018 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Amphora proves the purism of a documentation of origin and grape variety that can be achieved with a sensitive aging in this container. Of course, this is always subject to an excellent understanding of one's craft, which is tangibly the irrefutable case here. The wine, which is fond of fruit and at the same time earthy, appears almost delicate with velvety yet grippy tannins and finely chiselled acidity. In its reverberation again reminiscent of warming thyme, it thus gives more than a little hint to accompany it with food.
