"The 2019 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Prologo unleashes crushed black raspberry, cherry, cloves and cedar spice box depths. This is an incredibly dark and textural effort, with depths of tart red fruit elevated by zesty acidity as suggestions of sweet cinnamon emerge toward the close. For all of its power and thrust, the 2019 finishes remarkably fresh, leaving a subtle tug of fine tannin and licorice hints that linger on and on. This killer rendition of Prologo aims to please yet can also excel through medium-term cellaring.
