About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Montepulciano grapes are grown in Abruzzo, where the classic Mediterranean climate brings warm, dry summers and mild, rainy winters.

Vinification

Harvest runs from late September to early October. The grapes are pressed immediately and macerated for a week to develop colour and structure. Fermentation and malolactic fermentation both take place in stainless steel tanks at 25–27 °C.

Tasting profile

A bright, juicy young wine with an appealing fruity aroma and a smooth, well-balanced taste.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with red meat dishes and pasta.
