Rich, expressive and beautifully layered, the Tatelbaum Italian Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2019 is a compelling showcase of one of Italy’s most beloved red varieties. Sourced from the rolling hills of Abruzzo, this wine reflects both regional authenticity and modern winemaking finesse, delivering depth, texture and outstanding drinkability.

On the nose, it opens with generous aromas of ripe plummy fruit, dark cherry and blackberry, interwoven with notes of cigar box, pepper, baking spice and earthy undergrowth. Subtle hints of chocolate, espresso and vanilla add further complexity, creating a bouquet that is both inviting and refined.

The palate is rich, juicy and vibrant, unfolding with flavours of ripe plums, sarsaparilla, dark berries and warming baking spices. Touches of dark chocolate and roasted coffee emerge through the mid-palate, adding depth and savoury appeal. The texture is silky and supple, supported by super-smooth, approachable tannins that give structure without heaviness.

Midweight to generous in body, this Montepulciano delivers impressive balance and freshness, finishing lean, clean and persistent. Its layered mouthfeel and polished tannin profile make it both immediately enjoyable and highly food-friendly, offering exceptional value and versatility.

This outstanding release has been widely recognised on the international stage, earning Gold Medals at the Catavinum World Wine & Spirits Competition, the Women’s International Trophy 2023, and the CWSA Best Value & Asia Wine Challenge, confirming its quality and global appeal.

A natural partner at the table, it pairs beautifully with slow-cooked beef, lamb ragù, wood-fired pizza, pasta with rich tomato sauces, grilled sausages, mushroom dishes, or aged Italian cheeses. It is equally enjoyable on its own, delivering comforting richness and elegance in every glass.
