More questions
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC - Linea Vigna Corvino - 375ml - Az. Agricola Contesa represents an elegant expression of the Montepulciano grape, cultivated in the heart of Abruzzo. The grapes, coming from selected vineyards, give life to a wine with an intense and harmonious character, typical of a territory marked by sunny hills and calcareous soils.
Of deep ruby red color with violet reflections, this Montepulciano presents aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, accompanied by delicate spicy and tobacco notes. On the palate it shows a balanced structure, soft tannins, and a persistent finish that invites another sip. The brief aging in steel preserves freshness and fruit, guaranteeing an authentic experience.
Perfect paired with traditional Abruzzo dishes, such as arrosticini or sliced meat, it is also ideal with aged cheeses. The 375 ml bottle suits more intimate tasting moments or light lunches.

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.
