The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOCG "Verso Sera" stands out for its deep ruby-red color with light garnet hues, indicating its maturation. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet with prominent notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices like vanilla, and a slight touch of chocolate, a result of its aging in wood.
On the palate, the structure of this wine is robust yet balanced; mature but well-integrated tannins accompany a remarkable aromatic persistence, with an aftertaste reminiscent of spices and dried fruits. Its production follows traditional Abruzzese methods combined with a modern approach to winemaking, giving this Montepulciano a unique character.
"Verso Sera" pairs wonderfully with red meats, game, and rich-flavored dishes, such as those based on truffles or hearty ragù preparations. It is also excellent with aged cheeses, adding a touch of class to any meal.
Velenosi Winery is known for its commitment to quality and innovation, principles that are fully reflected in this product, making it an authentic expression of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, capable of evolving beautifully over the years.
