Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC 2022 - Terraviva

A Montepulciano d'Abruzzo from Terraviva, made to express the Abruzzese grape faithfully. After vinification in steel with indigenous yeasts, 50% rests for 18 months in used fourth-passage barriques and 50% in steel, then the wine is blended and aged a further six months before unfiltered bottling. Intense ruby in colour, with mature fruit, sour cherry, plum and small red berries, it is broad and full-bodied, with important tannins and good freshness, and a persistent finish. It suits meat pasta sauces, roast lamb and grilled or roasted red meats.
