MONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO RISERVA DOP

If it were a wise philosopher it could be called "Eulogy for the idleness".

We're talking about wine, about wine that stands to improve ... about that wine that takes its time to elevate it's organoleptic qualities. Time is suitable and the environment is circumscribed by a friendly element that has been by its side for ages: wood. When the union between these two elements, wood and wine, becomes a balanced path of life, which meets a final high quality project, then time becomes the unique and essential catalyst that leads to outstanding results. That's exactly what we're looking for.

The barrel turns into the perfect partner that is expected to make the wine express the most of itself, far from the ambition for protagonism which crushes its own content. Should all be perfectly planned and obsessively controlled, nothing else is needed. It is out of this "idleness" as well as total "rest" that the wine benefits from. The Montepulciano is the perfect protagonist in this slow path. It stands while it is working restlessly in order to enhance. The wine evolves in the barrel in whole diversity and concreteness: juice and seeds, skin and pulp , always together and still, for several months. The bottle steps into the scene only when the process is fittingly concluded.

Montepulciano is made from vines with low yield, manual harvesting and selection of grapes.

The ruby color is impenetrable. With an aroma of blackberry jam and plums, locust beans, berries, and then again leather, pepper, bay leaf, tobacco. 5 is a wine declined for men, with the presence of a powerful but velvety tannin, which expresses itself in perfect balance with the soft and alcoholic part, to accompany the noble long taste-olfactory persistence. The unique structure and rich aroma can render this wine an absolute protagonist which can be drunk and enjoyed also alone. We suggested a combination with red meats and game. The Abruzzo tradition sees it paired with the "pecora al cotturo" [roast sheep].
