2020 iLauri “Bajo” Montepulciano Abruzzo, Italy

iLauri's estate grapes produce this fine example of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo every vintage. The name Bajo (Bay) given to their town’s most important street comes from the hair color of some horses. Select vineyards with stony and calcareous soil are carefully managed to produce this classic wine. This vibrant red from Abruzzo displays a violet color and an intense bouquet of ripe red fruit, finely framed with spices. Pair this wine with Italian specialties such as lasagna, barbecued meats and baccalà.
