Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Terre dei Vestini Bellovedere 2021 Fattoria La Valentina

A Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva from Fattoria La Valentina, made only in vintages with ideal climate and full ripeness. It macerates and ferments for 30 days in open Slavonian oak vats, then matures partly in barriques, partly in tonneaux and partly in the same fermentation vats for about 18 months. It is suited to substantial dishes such as stews, braises, game and long-aged cheeses. On the nose it shows blackberry, red berry fruit, carob, spices, liquorice, blond tobacco, cocoa and black pepper. On the palate it is soft, balanced, tannic, very elegant and extremely long.
