Taste
This clear, ruby red wine has a high intensity and many slow legs that linger on the glass. Our sommelier finds this to be an interesting creation with many complex and deep attributes, starting with aroma that combines blackberry, cherry, and violets, geraniums, bell pepper, and eucalyptus, with tobacco, and smoky cedar and oak. How intriguing a combination! You will sense the smoky and ripe fruit texture and enjoy the lush, deep, aftertaste that invites you to linger and savor the depth of flavors and sensations of this excellent vintage with a limited quantity available.

Serving Tips
The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo pairs very well with any meat, pasta with any non-fish sauce, pizza, risotto, Kung Pao, barbecue, cheese, and salami. However this Multepulciano D'Abruzzo is a serious, restaurant-quality suggestion that pairs well with grilled or roasted veal, beef, or game. You will enjoy savoring this delicious creation on both special and ordinary occasions at temperature in the range of 60°F ÷ 64°F.

Wine Appellations
The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is cultivated today in all four provinces of the Abruzzo (Chieti, L'Aquila, Pescara and Teramo) at altitudes not exceeding 500 meters. The Montepulciano variety was developed through selection by the growers. It has displayed significant capacity for adaptation to different environments, which has facilitated its spread to other nearby territories.
