The 2019 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Notari impresses with a vivid bouquet, mixing blackberry preserves, freshly rubbed sage and hints of ash. It's texturally deep with velvety textures that wash a dense wave of ripe black fruits across an energizing core of juicy acidity. Through it all, a coating of fine tannins slowly collects, resulting in a youthfully structured yet long finale where hints of licorice and violet florals mingle throughout.
