Score 92/100 · Drink 2014-2026, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2010

The 2006 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Villa Gemma, the estate's top bottling, is gorgeous in this vintage. The excessive French oak that plagued some vintages seems toned down and what emerges is a firm yet juicy core of dark, black fruit. Smoke, tar, licorice and leather struggle to come forward on the finish, and ultimately this remains a stubborn wine in need of at least several further years in bottle.
