From Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC in Abruzzo, Italy, Emidio Pepe Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2000 is a dry red wine made from Montepulciano and released after long cellar aging. Now mature, it shows aromas of dried cherry, blackberry, plum, dried berries, leather, tobacco, spice, wild herbs, game, forest floor, and earthy notes. The palate is full-bodied and evolved, with round tannins, fresh acidity, concentrated dark fruit, savory complexity, and a long finish. This Italian red wine is a strong choice for those looking for a mature, collectible Montepulciano d’Abruzzo with depth, energy, and the benchmark character of Emidio Pepe.

Pair with roasted lamb, braised beef, wild boar ragù, mushroom dishes, aged Pecorino, game, truffle pasta, or classic Abruzzese dishes.
