‘ART of Earth’ Affordable Organic Montepulciano D’Abruzzo DOC by Philip S. Kampe




Every once in awhile you sample wine and find a few standouts that are priced much less than what they retail for. Simply put, you find that wine that is incredible and is undervalued.

When that happens to me, I run out as fast as I can and buy as many bottles that I think is practical.

I’m writing this article to expose one of those wines.

Its called, Art of Earth, a certified Organic 2019Montepulciano D’Abruzzo DOC. Its imported by a well known importer, Mack & Schuhle., based in Miami.

The organic, sustainable Montepulciano D’Abruzzo sends your taste buds into orbit.

Your palate explodes with alcohol induced earthy, chalky cocoa flavors with hints of tar, leather, oak, plum, sun-dried tomato and cherry. The combination confuses your palate with too much information. There is uncertainty in each drop. The style is old world.

Montepulciano, the grape, mostly grown in Abruzzo, has two different styles. One style that is light, approachable and soft. Its ready to drink now. The second style epitomizes a complex, rich, tannic wine with a full-bodied finish, much like the ‘Art of Earth.’ Montepulciano.

The Italian producers, MGM.Mondo del Vino, create natural wines the traditional way, following centuries old natural, sustainable, winemaking methods.

Even the wine bottle and screw cap are recyclable.

Mack & Schuhle import a complete line of ‘Art of Earth’ wines.
The bottles come from around the world-Italian Prosecco DOC; Sicilian Pinot Grigio-Malbec from Argentina; Riesling from Germany; Sparkling Sangria from Spain and Rose from France.

I want to try them all!

Bring it on!
