Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC “Mammut” is a great structured red wine. The grapes, 100% Montepulciano, are carefully selected and harvested in mid October. Then, only the free-run must gets pressed and winemaking takes place at a controlled temperature. After malolactic fermentation, which grants a particular fineness and maturation, the wine need to be aged in 5 hl tonneau (a particular kind of oak barrels) for 15 months. Bottle refinement lasts at least 6 months.
Cascina del Colle is a leader in the region of Abruzzo, with all the vineyards that are all south and southeast facing. The "Mammut' bottling is 100% Montepulciano and is named after the archaeological discovery of a Mammoth tusk in the second half of the 1960s at the point where the current company "La Cascina del Colle" was built. Hence the idea of a wine that was representative, powerful and majestic.
James Suckling: 95 Points
Lots of asphalt and tar to the black fruit. Extremely aromatic. Full-bodied and tannic, yet polished and so round. Contemporary and focused. Fantastic. Better after 2025.
