Top 2% of wines from Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

The most famous Montepulciano wine comes from the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC). 

The color is a beautiful ruby red with violet minor nuances that increasingly tend to darken with the progress of aging. The hints, intense and ethereal, are fruity and tend to express precious notes of ripe fruit, jam, soft fruits, and visciola cherry and spices. The overall taste is dry, tannic, fruity, and very harmonious. Aged in oak barrels, increases its pleasant aromatic and spicy notes. The possible presence of sediments is to be considered synonymous with authenticity. The combination is recommended with roasts, in the first place, with large meat on the grill of the territory, especially with the lamb, and with the excellent cow of Marche. Great the combination of aromatic smells and sensations that you have with the local cheese spicy, with a good and original Pecorino the Sibylline seasoned, and pecorino cheese and mixed usually characterized by a high level of refinement.
