Rush to this De Iuliis Special Release Montepulciano. It's a wine that is well balanced, generous but not weighty, flavoursome and screams for large pours and plentiful plates of food surrounded by those who laugh out loud.
From the first Montepulciano vines planted in the Hunter Valley (2010), the variety originates from Abruzzo, Italy, and it's a tribute to the De Iuliis family roots.
It kicks off with blackberries, black cherries, plums and some earthiness that makes an immediate impact. Flashes of pizza sauce and dried herbs tuck in behind. What appeals best is that it has soul and presence - a welcoming embrace that whispers you closer time and again. Dusty and chalky like tannins take control on close and guide you to a long and moreish finish. Find your people, dish up some comfort food and pour this generously - winning.
