Tenuta I Fauri Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Ottobre Rosso 2022

$2099

Montepulciano is Abruzzo's flagship red, and the Di Camillo family's "Ottobre Rosso" cuvée is the everyday-priced expression of what makes the grape so rewarding: deep color, plush dark fruit, friendly tannins. The wine sees fermentation and aging entirely in concrete — no oak — which keeps the fruit pure and the texture supple. The 2022 vintage is generous and ripe but well-balanced, the kind of bottle that disappears quickly at the table without anyone overthinking it. Abruzzo at its most honest and most useful.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2022 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Ottobre Rosso opens with a burst of dusty rose, wilted violets and wet stones before settling on lavender-laced blackberries. Silken in feel and with a solid core of ripe red berry fruits, this swirls across the palate easily, guided by juicy acidity. Licorice hints settle in toward the close. The 2022 is dramatically long and staining with a spicy tinge, leaving edgy tannins that frame the experience well without slowing its momentum." —Eric Guido

"The nose is invigorating, with the depth of earth and smoke, and the piercing tang of pepper, plum skin and blackberries. The palate is generous with both salt and pepper, although an enduring tart, dark-fruit element ensures cohesion, while ferocious tannins create a toothsome texture." —Danielle Callegari
