Feudi Bizantini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Terre dei Rumi 2023

One of our surprise Italian hits of recent times comes from the marvellous Abruzzo region of Italy, with Feudi Bizantini’s “Terre dei Rumi” Montepulciano d'Abruzzo creating quite a sensation among our Italian wine devotees. Named after the Byzantine era — a time of castles, carriages, dames and knights across the beautiful landscapes of Abruzzo — this captivating Red pays tribute to the region’s rich history and noble winemaking traditions.

Feudi Bizantini’s Montepulciano releases have helped bring renewed prestige to Abruzzo, earning an extraordinary 10 Gold Medals at major international wine competitions, while also being recognised among Luca Maroni’s Best Rated Reds an impressive 8 times over the past 7 years — including standout scores of up to 98 Points.

When it comes to the style and flavour profile associated with Feudi Bizantini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo wines, perhaps Italy’s most influential wine critic, Luca Maroni, sums it up best with his own flamboyant je ne sais quoi take:

“An absolute champion of concentration, fragrance & palatal roundness. Truly immensely enjoyed. With a combination of distinct black cherry and black berry aromatics. With density, splendour and brilliance of the best kind. Winemaking at its apex utilising native varietals. Chapeau.” — Luca Maroni

As for me, the 2023 Feudi Bizantini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo “Terre dei Rumi” impresses with its softly textured nature and remarkable fruit intensity, showing layers of red cherry aromas alongside notes of blueberry, blackcurrant and savoury red fruits. Rich, opulent flavours of dark berries and subtle flourishes of spice flow across the palate, beautifully showcasing why Montepulciano d'Abruzzo remains one of Italy’s most treasured and crowd-pleasing wine styles.

And if that wasn’t enticing enough already, we’re offering it right now for the even friendlier price of just $21.99 — almost 20% off the normal retail price of $26.99 — making this easily one of the best value Montepulciano d'Abruzzo offers currently available in Australia!
