The Story: Tabarrini is one of the best-known and most respected artisan wine producers in Montefalco with its vineyards and wine cellar located in and around Turrita. Giampaolo – who represents the fourth generation of the farmers of the Tabarrini family – is a passionate and eccentric winemaker and master and architect of this uncompromising and developing project. A great visionary who remains true to himself while striving for change, Giampaolo has, since taking over his parents’ farm in the late ‘90s, transformed it into the extraordinary success story it is today.

Why You'll Love Me: Big, bold and decadent red. Soaring notes of warm blueberry, dark cherry, dark chocolate, sweet tobacco, and herb. Full-bodied, opulent, and finely textured, this is a big red wine that finishes smooth and easy.
