Certified organic, vegan, pesticide-free wine with zero sugar and no added sulfites, this wine embodies a commitment to purity, environmental responsibility, and authentic regional expression.

Variety: 100% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo

Region: Abruzzo

Soil: Mostly sandy, and containing stone and a little clay

ABV: 13%

Vinification: Spontaneous fermentation in small stainless-steel tanks with indigenous yeasts for approximately two weeks highlights the Abruzzo character. Four months aging in steel follows to allow the character to develop without the influence of oak.

Tasting Notes: A clean, expressive wine that emphasizes fruit and terroir. Fresh and aromatically vibrant, the aromas are reminiscent of red fruit and sour black cherries with hints of wild berries. The wine displays great structure and concentration with fine tannins and a dusty, dried-plum profile layered with cocoa and coffee.

Pairing Suggestion: As a native Italian wine, it is a perfect match to a variety of Italian cuisine, particularly tomato-based dishes, pizza, hard cheeses, and mushrooms. The bold, robust characteristics compliment grilled meats and meat-based stews, and balances well with spicy Mexican and Indian flavors.

Available In: 750ml
