The Tasting

Appearance & Nose
01

Montepulciano, the cornerstone grape of this land, finds a profound expression here in Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC Riserva Fontefico, almost impenetrable to the eye, heralding an ardent character.
Palate & Finish
02

The elegance perceived on the nose translates into a flavor that "tints" the heart, the fruit of a passion for an authentic wine from the winery's oldest vineyard, planted in 1970. With a density of 1600 vines per hectare on loamy, clayey, and ferrous soil at 115 meters above sea level, facing north-west, this intense red is an ideal companion for robust dishes like rack of lamb, chocolate stew, or braised game.
