Anfora Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC - Cirelli 2022

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC in its "Anfora" guise from Cirelli presents a frank, measured profile: ripe red fruits paired with darker notes that fade into earthy aromas and a light floral touch. On the nose it is unpretentious, offering immediacy and clear, focused expression without excess, while a mineral thread and subtle spice define its overall character. The structure is balanced, with lively acidity and defined but well-integrated tannins that support the sip without weighing it down.

On the palate it confirms the olfactory promise with a juicy entry, development centered on substance, and a savory finish that invites a second glass. It’s a gastronomic-style wine: it pairs naturally with grilled meats, rustic ragù, and aged cheeses, but also stands up to mushroom dishes and roasted vegetables. Serve at around 16–18 °C and let it breathe for a few minutes to appreciate its roundness and persistence.
