Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Villa Gemma Masciarelli 2004
Masciarelli's Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Villa Gemma is the winery's iconic wine. It is a tribute to the great Abruzzo grape variety and its rich and intense charm. It is a version that can offer enthusiasts a high-level bottle, capable of competing with the great reds of Italy. In the glass, it is dark ruby red in colour, almost impenetrable. On the nose it offers broad, rich and intense aromas, with scents of ripe red fruit, blackberry, plum, berry jam, hints of humus and undergrowth, aromas of herbs, liquorice root, bitter cocoa and dark chocolate. The taste is powerful and structured, with an important tannic texture, well integrated with a dense and rich fruit, enhanced by elegant evolutionary notes. The finish is harmonious and very persistent.
