More questions
The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva DOC "Chiedi Alla Polvere" from the Az. Agricola Contesa winery is born in the heart of Abruzzo, a land of volcanic passion and mineral-rich soils. This wine, obtained from a careful selection of Montepulciano grapes, tells all the elegance and typical structure of the denomination. After a careful fermentation, it is aged in oak barrels that give the wine a pleasant aromatic complexity, characteristic of sweet spices, ripe cherry, and tobacco notes.
In the glass, it presents a deep ruby color and an enveloping aroma that caresses the olfactory with hints of red fruit and balsamic nuances. The palate is full, soft, and well-balanced, with silky tannins that promise an evolution over time. A perfect companion for robust dishes such as braised meats and aged cheeses, this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva tells the richness and tradition of Abruzzo in every sip.

The story
Contesa was founded as a winemaking project linked to the Pasetti family; online sources describe the central role of Rocco Pasetti and his family in managing the estate. The cellar carved into the hillside was completed in the 2000s, and from there the estate developed several ranges of wines focused on the grape varieties typical of Abruzzo.
Production philosophy
Production aimed at enhancing the Abruzzo terroir and employing low-impact winemaking practices: selective use of wood, controlled fermentations, and attention to preserving the freshness of native grape varieties. Sources also report a commitment to sustainability and a transition to organic practices and environmental certification.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards in the Collecorvino area, on the hills northwest of Pescara: favourable south-facing exposure, clay-limestone soils and elevations of around 250 m above sea level; conditions considered suitable for Montepulciano and other local grape varieties.
