Magnum of La Vigne Cendrée — "The Ashen Vine" — Boudignon's south-facing
It’s pure and polished without feeling buttoned-up
and subtle herbaceous notes arrive with the clarity that only limestone terroir and rigorous viticulture can provide
then brought down slowly with demineralized water rather than shocked into submission

Tiberio, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colle Vota, 2022 ITALYCOUNT Magnum of La Vigne CendréeTiberio offers heirloom Abruzzo wines at everyday prices, and Cristiana Tiberio has become one of the region's true icons of sustainable, terroir driven farming. This is the estate's Montepulciano d'Abruzzo from the Colle Vota site, a grape that can easily turn jammy and dull but here stays fresh, perfumed and savory. Tiberio's high altitude, calcareous vineyards and light cellar hand keep the fruit dark but vibrant, with structure rather than weight.
