From a year whose continuous rains have put virtually anyone in difficulty, throughout Italy, Emidio Pepe offers a Montepulciano of great style, the perfect representation of this very complicated vintage. Garnet red, on the nose it expresses autumnal and only remotely fruity notes before opening to a balanced and elegant taste, never screamed, perfectly inserted in this so measured context. Shy, but no less expressive.
