" The 2009 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colle Morino reveals good nuance and polish at this level, along with an attractive, layered expression of fruit. This mid-weight Montepulciano is best enjoyed while the fruit remains fresh. "

Intense
For people who enjoy big, bold wines that really pack a punch. For many who enjoy similar wines it’s a case of the bigger the better!
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo has long been a staple value red in Italian trattorias in the UK, but the appellation has in recent years seen several ambitious winemakers push the boundaries of quality ever higher. This has resulted in some fantastic accolades for the region's top wines in the Gambero Rosso, and one such winning producer is Fratelli Barba.
Our buying team reviewed a number of Abruzzo's best wineries at Vinitaly in 2010 and found Barba's wines to represent the best proposition both stylistically and commercially. This was underlined by a further blind tasting comparison back in our Primrose Hill office. The Colle Morino pair are great value too with plenty of fruit and local character.
