Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Tiberio, "Archivio", 2020Cristiana Tiberio and her brother, Antonio, have transformed their small winery in the quaint village of Cugnoli, Abruzzo, from barren land to star status in under 20 years. With stints at producers like Jacques Selosse in Champagne, Nicolas Joly at Coulee de Serrant, Egon Muller in the Mosel, and multiple producers in Chablis, it is no wonder that Cristiana's wines are some of the best in Italy. She specializes in single vineyard, old vine, and special clone bottlings that express a distinct side of Abruzzo that not many capture. Her Archivio is meticulously crafted from massal selected 67-year-old vines from four special biotypes of Montepulciano. Archivio, translating to "archive, " is a homage to these biotypes, and each is named after the Tiberio family's dogs: Tione, Quarmari, Diana, and Otto. The final wine produced exudes a distinct silky texture with tart raspberry and savory spice mingled with violet inner florals.153
