Tiberio Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2022

Tiberio is a truly captivating winery from Abruzzo, Italy, that feels both incredibly traditional and wonderfully fresh. It’s largely the brainchild of Riccardo Tiberio, who, back in 2000, stumbled upon an incredibly rare plot of very old Trebbiano Abruzzese vines – a grape that, despite its name, is surprisingly hard to find in its pure form even in Abruzzo. He was so taken by this discovery that he bought the land and started the winery, aiming to highlight the unique indigenous grapes of the region.

Today, the reins are firmly in the hands of his brilliant children: Antonio Tiberio oversees the vineyards with an almost obsessive dedication, while his sister Cristiana Tiberio, a trained chemist with experience in places like Champagne and the Mosel region in Germany, is the passionate winemaker and the public face of the estate.
