Why You'll Love It
This is a bit of a charmer. Montepulciano can be a bit ubiquitous, but this is intensely fruity with flavours of plum, tobacco and cedar. The palate is fresh, intense and spicy with a subtle clove warmth. Destined to be shared around a big table with Sunday dinner served family style, or a great bottle to have on standby for pizza night, rich pasta dishes, grilled sausages or a hearty lasagne.
About The Producer
In 1961, to help local farmers compete with the biggest wineries in Abruzzo, Don Vincenzo Pizzica formed a co-operative in the small village of Miglianico. Here in 1966, in the foothills of the Apennines, these farmers produced their first bottles.
Today they number 300 and collectively farm 500 hectares of prime Abruzzese vines, focusing as they have always done on the region’s signature grapes.

Winemaking Information
The grapes are grown on the rolling hills of Abruzzo, where cooling breezes from the Adriatic Sea help preserve freshness alongside ripe fruit. After harvest, the wine undergoes a traditional fermentation with six to eight days of maceration and regular pump-overs to gently extract colour, flavour and soft tannins. Rather than ageing in oak, the wine is matured in concrete tanks, allowing the vibrant fruit and purity of Montepulciano to take centre stage.
