Torre dei Beati’s organic vineyard sits in a small, deserted parcel of land in Loreto Aprutino. The cold air of the nearby mountains helps to give Fausto Albanesi’s wines a structured acidity and vibrancy, atypical of wines from the region. All of the work is done by hand, harvesting only a few bunches at a time, leaving the rest to ripen before repeating the process 5-6 times over. Their ‘basic’ Montepulciano is anything but. With a dense, wet forest nose, the wine opens up with ripe red fruit flavors, light tannin, and bright acidity. The finish features lingering cherry fruit accented by notes of earthy mushrooms to create a serious Montepulciano.
