Cataldi Madonna Malandrino Montepulciano d'Abruzzo - 2020 (750ml)
93 points Vinous Media
The 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Malandrino gets an official "wow" from the first tilt of the glass as violets and lavender give way to crushed blackberries, blueberries and a hint of sweet spice. This is elegance personified, with a juicy core of acidity that enlivens its near-velvety textures and wile berry fruits. It finished lightly structured, concentrated and long yet perfumed, making the 2020 a pleasure today, but also capable of medium-term cellaring. This is another outstanding vintage of Montepulciano Malandrino which, for all of its depth, has been a refined completely in stainless steel tank since 2012 vintage. - Eric Guido August 2022
