Amaranta Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2020

This is the brand new 2020 vintage and it again it has received and it has done the impossible - scored 99 points again from Luca Maroni in his Best Italian Wines Annual. 

That's right, this wine scored 99 points in Luca Maroni's Best Italian Wines Annual.  Luca is one of Italy's most renowned wine critics – Italy's James Halliday or Jeremy Oliver if you like – and for the latest edition of his annual wine annual, over 11,000 wines were tasted.  The equal highest rated wine was this, the Amaranta Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2020 and we have it for $34.99.  Here's a translated extract from his review:

''Few other red wines in the world show off this style in which the sweetness of the fruit, with those of the balsamic spices so sweetly, vanilla-mentally minty, are so penetrated and balanced. At the base of this shining persuasion, a raw material of supreme concentration, an oenological transformation that nothing has dispersed of its original natural splendour. Integrity that is cleanliness and stainless splendour of its fruit of the forest, of concentration and palatal balance that is truly exceptional. Chapeau.'' 99 Points, Best Italian Wine, Luca Maroni, Annual Italian Wine Guide 2022

You're never likely to see a wine like this again, not rated so highly and priced at less than $34.99.  If this was James Halliday's Red Wine of The Year, I guarantee it would be more than $40.  We have limited stocks, so buy while you can, you won't be disappointed.
