The Land
The Tiberio Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is from vineyards located near the town of Cugnoli, in the rugged hills of Abruzzo, just 20 kilometers from the Adriatic coast. Here, at elevations of 300 meters, the vines benefit from the cooling maritime breezes that temper the region’s warm days. The vineyards are rooted in limestone and clay soils, which lend the wine both freshness and structure. Abruzzo’s hilly terrain, combined with ample sunshine and significant diurnal temperature shifts, allows Montepulciano grapes to ripen fully while preserving vibrant acidity—a hallmark of the Tiberio estate.
The Wine
This 2021 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo offers a pure, lively expression of the grape. The nose is filled with aromas of black and red cherry, black plum, and blackberry, accompanied by hints of violet, earth, and a touch of graphite. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with juicy acidity keeping the dark fruit flavors bright and fresh. Silky tannins provide structure without overpowering the wine, leading to a balanced, savory finish with a subtle touch of spice and mineral notes. The wine is well-balanced, delivering depth and elegance with effortless drinkability. This wine is one of the greatest examples of this grape and is incredibly affordable and versatile.
The People
The Tiberio winery is a family affair, founded by Riccardo Tiberio in 2000 and now run by his children, Cristiana and Antonio. From the start, the Tiberios have been committed to preserving native Abruzzese varietals and expressing their full potential. Cristiana, the winemaker, takes a hands-off approach in the cellar, believing that great wine starts in the vineyard. Farming organically, the family prioritizes low yields, manual harvests, and minimal intervention during vinification to allow the purity of the grapes to shine. The Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021 embodies their philosophy—a wine honoring tradition but with an emphasis on precision.
