2022 Tiberio "Colle Vota" Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Notes

The 2022 Tiberio "Colle Vota" Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a brilliant, intellectual paradigm shift for the appellation, completely stripping away the heavy, extracted, and oak-laden stereotypes of the variety. Sourced from a tiny 1.6-hectare massale selection block planted in 2000 on limestone and marly-clay over sandstone in Cugnoli, this unique biotype yields smaller berries with thick, crunchy skins. Cristiana Tiberio handles this fruit entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel with spontaneous fermentation and zero oak contact, preserving a rare, high-altitude alpine-maritime clarity.
