More questions
The Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC Monnalisa of Leonardo Da Vinci 1502 is born in the Abruzzese hills, a territory known for its vocation to the cultivation of the Montepulciano grape variety. This wine expresses a decisive and enveloping character, the result of a careful selection of the grapes and a calibrated aging to enhance its qualities. The intense ruby color anticipates a bouquet rich in scents of ripe red fruits, cherry and plum, accompanied by delicate spicy and earthy notes that give depth to the aromatic profile.
On the palate, it reveals itself structured but balanced, with soft tannins and a pleasant persistence that invites drinking. The aging in steel, possibly followed by a brief passage in wood, allows maintaining freshness and integrity of the fruit. Ideal pairing with land dishes such as roasted meats or aged cheeses, this Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC embodies the authentic essence of a rich and generous territory.
