This is a perfect example of the varietal...smooth, light, good fruit...a great wine when you don't want to worry about overpowering your food and/or when you want something right out of the bottle that does not need decanting. A great pinch hitter while you wait for the barolos and brunellos to age.

Very earthy on the nose out of the bottle with not much on the palate. Several hours of decanting revealed much more complexity. Berries and fruit on the nose. Blueberries and plum with hints of cinnamon.

Not my favorite among d'Abruzzos I've sampled recently. At first, I suspected my bottle was corked bc it displayed a peculiar fizziness. Over time (e.g. several hours/days), it improved into an acceptable everyday wine, but I won't go out of my way to find this.

Earthy nose. Dry and fruity. Excellent QPR.
