2022

100% Montepulciano. Praesidium's iconic Cerasuolo comes from four different northeast-facing parcels of Montepulciano, planted in 1965, 1973, 1995, and 2006. Harvested at red-wine ripeness, maceration for 4 days. Long aging in stainless steel.  The Cerasuolo is either a light red or a dark rosè, depending on how one sees and feels it.  It is intensely sappy, surprisingly rich, and has been known to age very well.  6,372 bottles made.

"“A gorgeous blend of wild strawberries, lavender and wet stone makes the 2022 Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo Superiore impossible to ignore. This is round and supple, with juicy acidity and ripe red berry fruits offset by candied citrus and spice. The 2022 finishes long yet energetic and crisply refreshing, leaving a tinge of tart raspberry that slowly fades. While fruit forward, there’s no shortage of depth and complexity.”"
