Descrizione

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva DOC from the Contesa line, presented in an elegant Magnum format and housed in a wooden case, expresses with vigor and harmony the character of the Abruzzo territory. Produced by the Az. Agricola Contesa, this wine is made from Montepulciano grapes, a native variety cultivated on the Abruzzo hills, which give the product a robust structure and an intense aromatic profile. The aging, which takes place in wood, gives this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva depth, soft tannins, and a gradual evolution in its scents, enhancing notes of ripe red fruit, spices, and a delicate balsamic nuance. The result is a full, warm, and enveloping sip, ideal for accompanying dishes based on red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses. The Magnum packaging in a wooden case also makes this wine a refined collectible item or a perfect gift for lovers of Abruzzo’s nectar.

Winery history

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.
