You'll pick up dark cherry and spice and some sweet tobacco in the full-bodied Barone Cornacchia 2013 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Vizzarro. Showing a dark color and rich intensity, with an explosion of plush and ripe fruit, this vintage holds back from being too ripe. The tannins are more evident, and wines like this do well with high-fat, low-salt sausages like those from Central Italy. Some 6,000 bottles were made. This is the estate's top-end wine. It ages in French oak for 24 months. The wine usually goes through an additional 12 months in oak casks, but in this vintage, only French barrique was used. The name Vizzarro stems from the estate's founder Barone Filippo Maria Vizzarro, who planted grapes at the beginning of the 1900s. The Montepulciano grape was planted here before and after the devastating phylloxera outbreak.
