Origin

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is produced in the Abruzzo region of central Italy, known for its mountainous terrain and Mediterranean climate which contribute to the wine's distinctive character.

Variety

This wine is made exclusively from the Montepulciano grape variety, a native Italian red grape known for producing deeply colored, robust wines with good acidity and moderate tannins.

Production

The Montepulciano grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation at regulated temperatures to preserve fruit character. The wine is typically aged in stainless steel tanks or large oak casks to maintain freshness and enhance complexity before bottling.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple hues.
  • Aroma: Intense aromas of ripe red cherries, plums, and subtle hints of spices and herbs.
  • Palate: Medium-bodied with balanced acidity, soft tannins, and flavors of red fruits complemented by earthy undertones.
  • Finish: Smooth and persistent finish with a slight almond note.

Food pairings

  • Grilled or roasted red meats such as beef and lamb.
  • Hearty pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces.
  • Hard cheeses like Pecorino and aged Parmesan.
  • Traditional Italian dishes such as lasagna and pizza with robust toppings.
