Staff Pick Notes

Part of what makes drinking wine so much fun is all the rule bending that pops up in the wine world. Don’t overlook this Montepulciano just because it’s not your standard Barossa Shiraz from down under. You may not expect to see a grape from the Adriatic side of Italy thriving in south Australia, but the variety is well suited to the hot, dry climate. The hallmarks of the Montepulciano grape shine in this hemisphere’s terroir as brightly as they do in Abruzzo. What else do you need besides the right balance of bright cherry fruit, acidity and spice? Maybe a good dose of irreverence and innovation & luckily that’s exactly what this bottle offers.

The climate of South Australia’s McLaren Vale district is heavily influenced by the ocean; wines here typically show savory notes of olive and spice on the nose and deep berry flavors on the palate....

Montepulciano

This rugged red staple can be anything from a simply fruited, easy-drinking wine to a serious, more structured offering, complete with all the depth and earthiness that can come from old-vine fruit and ideally placed vineyards.

Many of the modern incarnations of Abruzzi’s favorite red wine are bigger, more structured,...
