WINE ESTATE

Area of production: Abruzzo

GRAPE VARIETY

100% Montepulciano

VINIFICATION

It follows the traditional method of red wine vinification. The fermentation takes a minimum of 10-12 days under controlled temperature not exceeding 25- 27 °C. The wine ages for at least 12 months in wooden casks and then for another 12 months in steel tanks.

FOOD PARIED

It is excellent served with intense flavour meat dishes, such as roasts, game, spicy salami and mixed grilled meats. At the end of a meal it can be paired with firm, mature hard cheeses.

TASTING NOTES

Deep ruby red colour with garnet flecks tending to purple with ageing. Intense, vinous bouquet with an immediate cherry flavour changing to notes of blackberries and liquorice with bottle aging. Dry and herbaceous on the palate, it becomes round full-bodied and more balanced with age.
