About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Montepulciano grapes grow on alluvial soils in the municipalities of Pineto and Roseto degli Abruzzi, at elevations of 50 to 250 metres. Planting density is high, at 4,000 vines per hectare, which helps the grapes reach full ripeness and concentration.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in early October, which allows the best bunches to be selected. Fermentation and maceration take place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and last around 10 days. The approach combines modern winemaking methods with respect for the terroir.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees for 4 months, which adds texture and depth.

Tasting profile

The colour is vivid. The aromas are fruity and complex. The palate is pleasant, well balanced and full-flavoured, with soft tannins.

Vintage notes

The description refers to the 2025 vintage but gives no details of its weather.

Label / history

The label reads "Colle Morino" in the description. The wine is Barba's Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC.
