Type

Colour: An almost black/red, compact, impenetrable and with an excellent consistency.
Nose: Intense and of good complexity, with an initial ripe cherry, dried roses, red fruit jam, as well as perceptions of dried hay and sweet and vanilla spices.
Taste: On the palate it is dry, with a nice acidity and flavor and a strong tannin even if with the corners rounded by an important warmth and a rebalancing softness.

Fruit in alcohol of cherry and black cherry, toasted tobacco, licorice and a delicate blood with hints of dried hay and vanilla. A nice long and persistent finish of red fruit jam and spices.

Harvest:
The uncontaminated Oasis of Rosarubra, immersed between the sea and the mountains of Abruzzo and lapped by suggestive centuries-old trees, is privileged by a magnificent temperature range favored by an altitude ranging from three hundred to five hundred meters above sea level. This is a territory controlled entirely by nature, in which any interference by man is prevented.

A sought-after and extraordinary symbiotic agriculture that respects the microbiology of the soil and plants, as well as supporting self-production and the use of indigenous mycorrhizae that enrich the microorganisms present in the soil, strengthening the healthy development of the vineyards and preserving the genetics of our terroir.

It is in this medium-textured soil that the Guyot, spurred cordon and Abruzzo pergola training of this precious and unobtainable line dwell, from which a pure wine obtained with 100% Montepulciano d'Abruzzo grapes is born, which in addition to enjoying a splendid exposure is characterized by a very high planting density that exceeds 5000 plants per hectare with minimum yields of around 1.2 kg per vine.

In addition, during a manual October harvest, only the best grapes of the vine are selected, a precious fruit of the aforementioned and advanced biodynamic, organic, regenerative and sustainable agriculture, which guarantees total respect for the environment and its ecosystem, as well as offering us the maximum expression of the authentic typicality of the territory in which they were born.

Vinification:
A vinification in 10hl Slavonian oak barrels, followed by malolactic fermentation and subsequent maturation in 300-liter oak barrels, at the end of which bottling will be carried out in the total absence of oxygen, for a final period of aging.

How to pair our Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC wine:
An uncommon, sought-after, long-lived wine, this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC is always a pleasure to keep in the cellar, because over the years it will surprise us positively.

But for those who do not want to wait long and want to taste it immediately, we suggest bringing the wine to a temperature of 16-18 degrees at most, pouring it into a nice large glass with a wide rim, always uncorking it a little before serving, so as to allow it to open well and express itself at its best.

Perfect on any occasion, it can be enjoyed alone and in company, better if combined with well-structured and tasty dishes: aperitifs, appetizers, vegetarian dishes, red meats and medium and long-aged cheeses. Let's imagine cream puffs with ham, pappardelle with wild boar sauce, risotto alla parmigiana, sliced steak with black pepper, grilled beef sirloin or a medium-high aged pecorino cheese from Abruzzo.
