More questions

Piè di Ripa Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC - Fontezoppa is born from the harmonious encounter between the rich Abruzzo terroir and the Montepulciano grape variety, a symbol of the territory. Cultivated on hilly slopes, this wine expresses all the vigorous and enveloping personality typical of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, characterized by an intense ruby red color with violet reflections. On the nose, it opens with fragrant aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by delicate spicy notes and light floral nuances. On the palate, it is full and soft, with well-integrated tannins that give structure and elegance, leaving a pleasant persistent aftertaste.
