The 2020 Cantina Tollo Aldiano Riserva Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a premium Italian red crafted from selected Montepulciano grapes and matured to achieve greater depth, structure and complexity. Showcasing the richness of Abruzzo, it offers concentrated dark fruit, refined tannins and impressive elegance. The nose is expressive and inviting, revealing aromas of blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum, complemented by notes of liquorice, dark chocolate, tobacco, vanilla and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with velvety, well-integrated tannins, balanced natural acidity and a smooth, layered texture, delivering flavours of blackcurrant, dark plum and black cherry intertwined with hints of cocoa, cedar, savoury herbs and gentle oak. The finish is long, rich and beautifully balanced, combining generous fruit with refined complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Montepulciano Riserva for customers seeking a full-bodied Italian red with depth, elegance and excellent ageing potential. Enjoy after a short decant or cellar confidently over the next 6–10 years. Ideal with grilled rib-eye steak, slow-braised beef, roast lamb, wild mushroom pasta or aged Pecorino and other hard cheeses.
