The Nicodemi estate was founded in the early 20th century by the current owner’s grandfather, Carlo Nicodemi. Bruno his son, assumed the reins in the early 1960s and helped by a second income from his medical practice, set about producing the best wines of the Abruzzo. A major replanting programme followed by a new cellar established Nicodemi as one of the region’s few producers who placed quality above quantity in his 10 hectare operation.

Deep ruby red in colour, with impressive volume and length on the nose before leading to emphatic notes of wild red berry fruit. The palate shows admirable balance, full-fruited aromas and soft, supple tannins. The 100% Montepulciano fruit sports sufficient acidity and tannins to tame the bramble and black cherry fruit and it’s marvellous.
