d'Abbruzo, Dragani - Riserva -Double Magnum 3L

Montepulciano is a red wine grape variety grown widely in central Italy, most notably its eastern Abruzzo, Marche and Molise regions. The variety was named after the Tuscan parish of Montepulciano, but, confusingly, is not used in the famous wines produced there (see Vino Nobile di Montepulciano). Globally appreciated for their soft flavors, strong color and gentle tannins, Montepulciano wines are typically best consumed in their youth and with food. The deep-purple juice of Montepulciano grapes is used in varying proportions to produce wines under roughly 50 of Italy's DOC and DOCG titles. Although sometimes used on its own, …

Jean Astier

The 1982 vintage in Châteauneuf-du-Pape was marked by a warm, ripe growing season—yielding wines that were generous and approachable early on, yet capable of graceful aging. After more than four decades in bottle, this wine offers a deeply gratifying glimpse into the matured, old-school style of Southern Rhône winemaking.


This 1982 Jean Astier Châteauneuf-du-Pape pours with a deep garnet core and gently brick-tinged edges. The nose unfolds with heady aromas of dried cherry, leather, baked herbs, and incense. On the palate, it presents lifted, nuanced fruit—think stewed plum and fig—woven together with tobacco, Provençal garrigue, and a hint of gamey complexity. …
