2015 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

 Montepulciano, Abruzzo, Italy 

You know the House of the Dragon, House of the Rising Sun, House of Gucci…do you think you’re for the legendary House of PEPE? Meet one of the world’s most famous and cult-y producers we get a tiny allocation of just once a year. Boasting organic and biodynamic farming practices, hand-harvest, local yeast fermentation, no fining/filtering & no added sulphur, Emidio Pepe has been making some of the world’s most coveted wines since the end of the 19th century. FUN FACT! The fourth generation has been taking care of the estate since 1997, but more recently the fifth generation has joined the party!  Craigslist vintage leather couch, tar, cowboy’s backyard, soot, lightly smoked olive, sour cherry molasses, salt rusted iron, eucalyptus spires green edge, mushroom perfume, structure like a 100 storey building & a trail of sediment like Hansel and Gretel had some crumbs to SPARE! Enjoy with roast beef and bitter greens.
