Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
On the nose, notes of vanilla and tobacco suggest the effects of the 18 months this wine spent in small oak barrels. On the palate, it is zippy and bright, with a noticeable acidity lifting flavors of cherry and ripe cranberry.
Winemaker Notes
Montepulciano is a classic grape of the hauntingly picturesque Abruzzo region. Dotted with historical ruins and remnants of the kingdoms that have shaped the local culture over thousands of years, it is truly one of a kind. This special selection, made from grapes grown in prime argillaceous soils, shows the greatness of the terroir.
Food Pairing Notes
A classic alongside Maccheroni alla Chitarra with Amatriciana sauce.
