| Il Feuduccio | Montepulciano D’Abruzzo Feuduccio DOC | 2015 | Vinous | 01/09/2018 | 92 | ||||||
Verbiage“Moderately saturated ruby. Deep, rich, dense aromas and flavors of red cherry, dark plum and licorice. Very clean, precise and long, offering no easy sweetness to the serious, austere mouthfeel. Lovely Montepulciano wine that is richer and riper than the more refined and restrained Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Ursonia bottling of the same vintage by Feuduccio. Each will have its fans.” -Ian D’Agata, Vinous Sept. 2018 |

| Il Feuduccio | Montepulciano D’Abruzzo Fonte Venna DOC | 2016 | Vinous | 01/09/2018 | 90 | ||||||
Verbiage“Dark red. An initial whiff offers herbs and underbrush, then ripe red cherry aromas. Then more ripe red cherry, leather and herbs on an austere, structured palate that features serious tannins and some alcohol-derived warmth. The finish is long, savory and rich. Perhaps not the last word in refinement, but this big wine will be unbeatable with steaks.” -Ian D’Agata, Vinous Sept. 2018 |

| Il Feuduccio | Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Ursonia DOC | 2015 | Vinous | 01/09/2018 | 92 | ||||||
Verbiage“Deep purple-ruby. Refined, fresh aromas of botanical herbs, minerals and blackberry. Then delicately minerally and herbal in the mouth too, along with ripe blue and black fruit flavors that linger nicely on the juicy, suave finish.” Ian D’Agata, Vinous, Sept. 2018 |
