Tenuta Antonini, P. 121 2022

Tenuta Antonini P. 121 2022 is a characterful Montepulciano from Abruzzo that combines immediate charm with a polished sense of structure. Deeply rooted in the Mediterranean spirit of the region, it offers generous fruit, warm spice and a refined balance that makes it both approachable and distinctive.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red color with violet reflections, giving an impression that is both inviting and vibrant. The nose is expressive and layered, opening with ripe black cherry, blackberry and blueberry, followed by nuances of licorice, cedar, chocolate, Mediterranean spice and a touch of tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rounded, with fresh acidity supporting the ripe fruit and soft tannins providing grip and length without overshadowing the wine’s juiciness. The finish is long, warm and fruit-driven, and while it drinks beautifully now, it should also hold well over the next few years as its savory and spicy nuances evolve.

Production
Produced from Montepulciano grown in Abruzzo, P. 121 reflects the region’s warm, coastal-influenced terroir, where Mediterranean conditions help develop ripe fruit and aromatic depth. The result is a wine that captures both concentration and elegance, with vinification aimed at preserving freshness, structure and the varietal’s naturally expressive fruit profile.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for richer Italian dishes such as grilled lamb, pappardelle with game ragù, or a classic ossobuco. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 20–30 minutes if you want the aromas to open further and the texture to feel even more seamless.
