Deep, dark red, the 2022 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo lifts with crushed cherries, savory herbs and white pepper. This flows across the silky and refined palate, with ripe wild berries cascading beneath an air of violet florals. It finishes long, full of youthful tension, yet also vividly fruity and fresh. This zesty Montepulciano is a total pleasure to taste.

Winemaker Notes

The vineyards for the production of this Montepulciano are located in Pianella, which has the characteristic to be positioned next to a small natural lake. The proximity to the lake allows the roots of the vines to stay humid even during the dry season. This freshness is found in the wine, elevated in stainless steel to leave unaltered this natural characteristic. After being selected and harvested by hand the grapes are taken to the winery to be destemmed and crushed and then set in stainless steel vats under controlled temperature for which only one delestage follows. The wine obtained is racked in stainless steel vats where it rests for almost a year to then age six months in bottle.
