About this wine

Grapes

Montepulciano is a traditional variety of Abruzzo and ripens late in the season. Wines made from it are known for moderate acidity and a slightly unconventional character.

Vinification

After harvest the grapes are taken to the winery, where they are sorted and pressed before alcoholic fermentation.

Ageing

After fermentation the wine is aged and then bottled. The text gives no vessel or duration.
