"Pepe's 1993 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo offers notable complexity in its sensations of tar, roses, earthiness, mushrooms and sweet cherry fruit on a medium-bodied frame with outstanding length. Although it is absolutely delicious today it also shows enough freshness and acidity to make me think that will age for at least another decade or more." Antonio Galloni (October 2006)
