Grape Variety

This wine uses 100% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Winemakers value this grape for its deep colour and generous fruit profile. However, careful farming and extended ageing also give it structure and ageing potential. Therefore, it performs particularly well in Riserva wines.

Region

The vineyards sit in Abruzzo, within the Province of Chieti. This area benefits from warm days and cooler nights. Adriatic air encourages ripeness. At the same time, mountain influences preserve freshness. As a result, the wines show both power and balance, which works well with food.

Vinification and Ageing

The winery carries out fermentation naturally. It uses amphorae, oak barrels and concrete tanks. This approach protects purity and expression. After fermentation, the wine matures to Riserva standards. During ageing, the wine gains structure, harmony and depth. The winemaking team avoids additives to preserve authenticity.

Food Pairing Ideas

Thanks to its structure, this wine pairs well with rich dishes. It works particularly well with slow-cooked beef, lamb or venison. In addition, it complements pasta with mushroom or truffle sauces. Porcini risotto also suits its savoury profile. For cheese lovers, aged Pecorino or Parmigiano make excellent matches. Many UK customers also enjoy this wine with a Sunday roast or winter comfort food.

Why Buy This Wine

If you want an organic Italian red with character, this wine fits the brief. It offers depth without heaviness. It also suits relaxed evenings and hearty meals. Overall, it delivers authenticity, maturity and strong value for UK wine lovers seeking a serious Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva.
