Nicodemi’s Montepulciano is a real crowd pleaser - with masses of appeal and fresh, spicy black fruits. Well concentrated and balanced - a stunning wine for the price.

Bruno Nicodemi founded this estate in the mountainous area of central eastern Italy in 1970, and it is now one of the finest producers in Abruzzo. Its groundbreaking organic wines offer real style and great value-for-money from an underrated region.

This wine is organic.

Delicious, vibrant dark fruits, earth, and a touch of eastern spice with a focused purity providing excellent balance and poise. Very moreish. This is an immensely satisfying modern Italian wine with so much character. A real find from off-the-beaten track.

“The 2008 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is a fresh, vinous red perfect for drinking over the next two to three years...a glassful of generous, dark fruit and exceptional balance at this level.” eRobertParker.com

"Nice sweet cherry and plum fruit nose with a bit of chocolatey richness and some savoury bite. The palate is ripe, sweet and juicy with some damson bitterness as well as sweet plummy fruit. A really delicious, intense, full-flavoured, fruit-driven, savoury red, finishing with some grippy tannins." Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com
