More questions

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva DOC of the Linea Contesa from Azienda Agricola Contesa masterfully expresses the essence of the Abruzzo territory. Made from Montepulciano grapes, carefully cultivated on sunny hills, this wine represents a perfect balance between structure and harmony. After a meticulous fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in oak barrels that enhance its aromatic complexity and taste depth.

The aromas open with intense notes of ripe red fruits, plum, and cherry, enriched by delicate spicy and vanilla hints. On the palate, it is velvety, with soft yet firm tannins and a persistent aftertaste that recalls the land of Abruzzo. This Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva pairs magnificently with rustic dishes such as roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses, ensuring an experience of great elegance and substance.

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.
