Cantina Tollo

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo from the heart of Central Italy.

Cantina Tollo produces Montepulciano d'Abruzzo from Central Italy's Abruzzo region, where the grape finds its natural home. The winery's core expression, Aldiano Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, demonstrates the variety's characteristic structure and depth. Two reserve bottlings—Cagiòlo and Mo, both Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva—show the potential for complexity and aging in this varietal. Montepulciano thrives in Abruzzo's continental climate and limestone-rich soils, yielding wines with dark fruit, earthy undertones, and firm tannins. The region's elevation and diurnal temperature swings contribute to the wines' balance and freshness. Prestige critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Decanter have assessed the winery's portfolio.
