About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Produced from Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grown in the Abruzzo Region on medium-textured clay soils. The vineyards use awning and espalier training systems, with harvest taking place in early September.
Grapes
Montepulciano d’Abruzzo.
Vinification
The grapes are destemmed and crushed, then gently pressed under vacuum to obtain the free-run must. Cryo-maceration follows.
Ageing
The wine remains in stainless-steel tanks until bottling.
Technical data
Alcohol: 12.5% vol. Available format: 0.75 L.
Tasting profile
Medium-intensity cherry pink. The nose combines cherry, strawberry and fragrant red-fruit aromas with pomegranate nuances. The palate is agile and flavourful, driven by fresh acidity and an almost saline, mineral character.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 12–14°C in a tulip-shaped glass. Its versatile profile suits starters, first courses, cheeses and light pizzas with delicate toppings.
Label / history
A traditional Abruzzo Cerasuolo presented in the Tralcetto bottle. The characteristic vine twig is gathered after annual pruning and tied by hand around the bottle neck as a symbol of the connection between the wine and its land of origin.
