2019 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Jorio, Umani Ronchi
Jorio is Umani Ronchi’s selected Montepulciano d’Abruzzo created in the mid-nineties to express the great potential of this varietal.
"There’s a charming mentholated freshness to the 2019 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Jorio, coupled with a mix of cinnamon spice and dusty rose. It washes across the palate with ease and is silky with medium weight. The 2019 showcases violet-tinged, wild berry fruits, and silty tannins slowly saturate toward the close. This finishes lightly structured with a staining of primary concentration that lingers; nuances of licorice slowly fade. The 2019 is an excellent Jorio in the making. Give it a year of cellaring for the best results. Drink 2024-2029." Eric Guido, Vinous.com
