Rimbaldi Montepulciano 2008
by Alessandro Botter

  • Deceptively powerful, smooth as an Italian gigolo, and a Eureka! match to any dish with a tomato sauce
  • Seriously underrated in the UK, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is Italy’s dark little secret – and they want to keep it that way
  • Deep red colour, smoky bouquet, full-bodied taste followed by a well balanced finish

"We believe just like our grandfather did that our future success really lies in making the most of the fabulous indiginous grapes our region has to offer. Yes we have had many experiments with grapes from all over the world but time and again the ones we end up pouring into our own glasses at the end of the day are the traditional grapes my grandfather started growing all those years ago. For many in the UK I know the Italian grape names may seem strange, unfamiliar and tricky to pronounce (especially after a few glasses) but please do try them. I am proud of every drop!"

Very tasty Montepulciano, although slightly sharper than I expected, maybe a little more breathing time would have helped. However very enjoyable and a goos wine for the price, although for what it's worth, I would actually recommend the Milani Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2008 over this one. Cheaper and in my view genuinely tastier, with a more rounded flavour and good weight - a really nice surprise.

Nothing wrong with this wine - just nothing too special either. More than drinkable and I'll give it another go when the next batch/vintage arrives
