Talamonti's 2014 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Modà is the estate's base red wine. It sees six months in oak and delivers a big dose of dark fruit, cherry and plum. Background notes of wet earth, tobacco and spice add more texture to the overall effort. This is another great value.

Juicy black raspberry and wild cherry fruit is well-spiced in this medium-bodied, balanced version, with accents of herb, chocolate-covered coffee bean and melted licorice chiming in on the plush finish. Drink now through 2018. 20,000 cases made, 8,000 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Select to Add
