The classic grape of
Abruzzo, from an equally classic wine company.
I, like many others,
with the Pepe’s wines, I lived, and I live, contrasting experiences, Montepulciano and Cerasuolo wines included, with bottles ranging from one extreme to another.
Often the common
thread is that irritating, however distasteful, reducing feeling that, at best,
will soon disappear - minutes / quarter hours - when it's bad, it does not
pass, even after several days.
Even this has escaped
to the reduced but, fortunately, it all worked out in the space of a short
time. So, go with the smells - grapefruit, lemon, wild herbs, almonds -
corroborated by mineral iodine trails and a satisfying freshness.
In the mouth a good
acidity, but it changes skin, giving greater expression to the minerals and
marine tones. The drink, in truth, not very complex, fast flowing and lively,
revealing a strong savory side, whith a distinct note of caper.
The closing is a bit faster,
with bitter touches, but little short in persistence. Maybe spending a little time
in the glass, it could still improve.
