Intense aromatic notes of prune, bitter cherry, liquorice and warm spice are layered with delicate vanilla, coffee, chocolate and balsamic overtones. Full-bodied and balanced on the palate, with charmingly structured tannins and a bold yet elegant finish.
Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is produced from the Montepulciano variety, grown in the Abruzzo region, on Italy’s Adriatic coast. The Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC title was established in 1968, and covers 74 miles of the eastern Abruzzo coastline and spreads inland for approximately 20 miles. The vineyards are located on the undulating topography created by the Apennine Mountain range. The foothills create ideal mesoclimates, taking advantage of the 2,260 hours of average annual sunshine in the region.
