Tasting Notes
Classic Montepulciano here, with lovely depth and generosity that belies its price. Plenty of dark fruits on the nose, with a gamey edge, dusted with spice. The palate is plump and rounded, with red and black fruits, plush, velvety tannins and a kiss of sweet vanilla. A great food wine. - Felix G
Abruzzo has a winemaking history stretching all the way back to the Etruscans in the sixth century BC, with plenty of ups and downs along the way. These days it turns out reliable, approachable whites and reds for everyday drinking, along with some genuinely complex, ageworthy wines at the top end. You'll find it in central Italy on the Adriatic coast, with Molise to the south, Marche to the north and Lazio to the west.
Its terroir is varied and shaped heavily by the Apennines, with vineyards near the coast enjoying a moderating maritime influence while those further inland see a much wider swing between day and night temperatures. Clay is the dominant soil throughout. Trebbiano leads the whites with Pecorino close behind, while Montepulciano is the flagship red.
