Tasting Notes

Intensely red in color with a violet hue and bursting with red fruit flavors on the nose, this Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is fresh on the palate with notes of raspberry, blueberry, and cherry. 


Cultivation

Hailing from the beautiful region of Abruzzo, this Montepulciano is the result of both hand and machine harvesting in the middle to end of September, followed by destemming.


Vinification

After a 10-20 day fermentation at 25-26°C in 100-400 hl tanks, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is stored in stainless steel tanks for 3-6 months until it is bottled.
