Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2007 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is simply awesome. This sumptuous wine boasts tremendous balance and harmony in its dark, dense fruit, with a long, harmonious finish. Everything is in the right place in this delicious red from Abruzzo. When will consumers discover how delicious the best Montepulcianos can be? Anticipated maturity: 2009-2013. I continue to be impressed with the wines of Cataldi Madonna, one of Abruzzo's top estates.

The winery is run by his son, Luigi Cataldi Madonna, who continues the important working philosophy whose goal is to safeguard and enhance the specific characteristics of the terroir. Ofena, the city where the winery is located, is in a mountain's valley at 380 meters (1246 feet), to the feet of Gran Sasso, which is traditionally called "oven of Abruzzo". Thanks to the exceptional exposition to the sun and to the sensible diurnal tempratures, this area has remarkable qualities for wine making, also thanks to the composition of the soil.
