The artist formerly known as Iole's Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo, this is one of the most intense, structured, and layered wines that she produces (again, we're very here Abruzzo rosati.) The cuvée 'Damigiana' is taken from the oldest and highest-elevation Montepulciano vineyard site they own, called 'San Desiderio.' In general, Montepulciano benefits from oxygen and time open in the glass, and this powerful wine is no exception: dark berry fruit, earth, and meat will turn into bright strawberries later, if you're patient. The cuvée name is that of the 54-liter glass damigiana Iole uses to age this wine until bottling in spring, an old-school vessel the likes of which you'll only really see now in tiny artisan cantinas. A rich and powerful beauty, with plenty of heft and structure here, this is a wine destined for the dinner table.
