Est. delivery in late summer, 2026 Ciavolich is one of Abruzzo's most quietly serious estates, and Fosso Cancelli is their single-vineyard Montepulciano d'Abruzzo; the kind of wine that reminds you why this grape deserves more attention than it typically gets. The 2019 vintage gave Abruzzo a long, warm growing season with just enough diurnal shift in the hills to keep freshness intact, and it shows: the wine has real structure without the heaviness that can drag Montepulciano into murky territory. This is a wine built on grip and depth rather than easy charm. Dark fruit, iron, dried herbs, and a firm but yielding tannin structure that wants lamb chops or aged pecorino beside it. Open it an hour before you sit down and let it breathe - it has things to say, but needs a moment to gather itself.
