"Sourced from the two hectare Branella vineyard. Purchased by the family in 1981. The name of the vineyard, Branella, comes from the name of the former owner of the parcel. The Branella vineyard has different zones within it with distinct geological variations. Some classic "speckled" blue clay marls on the northern / top of the vineyard. Higher iron and manganese than Casa Pepe." - Polaner Selections
"The 2022 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Vecchie Vigne Branella continues to evolve beautifully in bottle. A seductive array of lavender, rose and crushed violet candies complement wild blueberry fruit as a spicy gingery tinge slowly emerges. It’s racy and energetic in feel, with zesty acidity contrasting a core of tart wild berries. Chalky mineral tones saturate the palate. Grippy tannins take hold through the finish, yet displaying fantastic freshness. A pleasantly bitter tinge punctuates the 2022's spicy nature. In a word: Wow." - 96 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous
