From the heart of Italy's Abruzzo region, the Talamonti winery is situated in Loreto Aprutino, a historic town nestled between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea.

The winery is known for combining tradition with a modern, terroir-driven philosophy that expresses the unique character of Abruzzo’s microclimates. Wine Description This 2022 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo pours a deep ruby red with violet reflections. On the nose, it offers vibrant aromas of wild cherry, blackberry, and violet, layered with a touch of licorice and spice. The palate reveals juicy red fruit, balanced acidity, and velvety tannins that frame a medium-bodied structure. The wine concludes with a lingering, slightly peppery finish. Made entirely from Montepulciano grapes, it is best enjoyed within 3–5 years of the vintage to capture its youthful energy and freshness. Stylistically, it is noted for its lively expression, approachability, and impressive balance. Accolades Vinous - 90 points. James Suckling - 90 points. Food Pairing Pair this wine with grilled Italian sausage, eggplant Parmesan, or tomato-based pasta dishes. Its ripe fruit and bright acidity also complement hard cheeses such as Pecorino or aged Provolone. This pairing highlights the wine’s depth and character.
