A voluptuously rich, impressively balanced 100% Montepulciano birthed from very old vines. Revolutionary is too tame a word to describe the dazzling power of this very original cuvée. The nose suggests leather and incense, with juniper and poached plums in the background. Medium-bodied and very spicy, the mouth reveals layers of cream and crushed blackberries. Cedar and cumin blend with freshly grated ginger and cinnamon. A breathtaking wine that will continue to reveal its treasures for decades. Aged 18 months in barrique.
2006 Nicodemi Neromoro
7.15.2010
Neromoro, a pure, older-vine 100% Montepulciano from the hills of
Abruzzo in central Italy, has stood shoulder to shoulder with Italy’s
finest, winning her top wine honors and sharing space with Barolo and
Brunello in the most selective of cellars. For us it is one of
Italy’s greatest wines, a bottle with both unique provenance and serious
talent behind it—and certainly a wine that crushes the perception that
Montepulciano is just for simple quaffing during al fresco meals.

Nicodemi Terrana 2010
Italy
/
Abruzzo
This is pure Montepulciano grinning ear to ear, with the full sun of central Italy to warm it and the refreshing wind from the Adriatic in its sails. Blackberries and blueberries mix with a hint of baking spices and pepper on the nose. The full-bodied yet very fresh and lacy mouth drinks like silk and echoes the nose’s sultry blueberry refrain. Soft tannins but a strong personality; exactly what we want on the table with a lively crowd, good music and lots of food.

Nicodemi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Cerasuolo Rosé 2009
Italy
/
Abruzzo
Nicodemi, hands-down, is one of the most dynamic and exciting estates in Abruzzo—and their rosato year in and year out is one of our favorites (as well as one that has received serious critical acclaim). “Cerasuolo” refers to the wine's deep blush, which is called “cirasce” in the Abruzzo dialect, meaning cherry-colored.

Nicodemi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2007
Italy
/
Abruzzo
While we savored the 2006 to the very last drop, the 2007 shows itself with even more concentration and inky, powerful black fruit. Touches of licorice and pepper show on the intensely black-fruited nose; the mouth shows incredible balance and poise, considering just how rich and savory it is. A must-have.
