Nicodemi

Montepulciano specialist in Abruzzo's limestone hills.

Nicodemi works with Montepulciano in Abruzzo, the central Italian region where this dark-skinned grape finds its most distinctive expression. The winery's portfolio centers on two red wines from the appellation: Notàri Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Le Murate Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane, both drawing from the region's limestone-rich soils and continental climate. Montepulciano here develops structure and earthy depth—a counterpoint to the grape's softer expressions elsewhere in Italy. Nicodemi also produces Le Murate Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Rosé, a dry expression of the same variety that showcases the versatility of Montepulciano across color and style. The winery's wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Falstaff.
