The red wine is very tannic and harmonizes with low acidity and high alcohol to create a juicy taste experience.

Tasty misunderstanding of the origin

Although the name probably comes from the small town of Montepulciano in Tuscany, the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo grape variety has nothing to do with the municipality. The grape variety is not even cultivated in this region. Instead, the grape variety Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is mainly spread in Abruzzo, partly in Marche and in Molise. Only in Abruzzo is the grape vinified into the popular Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, which contains at least 85% Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. For the uniquely strong and velvety bouquet, the grape needs a lot of sun and sandy to calcareous soils. Conditions that the vineyards of the Abruzzo region in central Italy easily meet.
