Torre Zambra Riserva Colle Maggio Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2020

$ 72.00 incl. GST

Description

Building on the same fruit source as the previous wine, the Riserva is again wild fermented in stainless steel before six months ageing in concrete tanks, then 12 months in French and Slavonian mixed format barrels (40% new), with a further six months bottle ageing before release.

A rich and hedonistic expression of Monte, opens with combined aromatics of Old Gold Rum ‘n Raisin dark chocolate and a fresh pouch of Port Royal tobacco.  Plush and redolent of blue and black fruits, blackforest cake and coffee and cocoa, it has plenty of presence but stops well short of being overblown.  A decent thread of tannin keeps this defined and with some good length, giving enough structural tension, plus a brush of Amaro herb bitterness to balance the richness of fruit.  Holds a similar appeal to a big, cuddly Barossa Shiraz.
