Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva DOC - Spelt - La Valentina 2018
VAT incl.
The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva DOC "Spelt" produced by La Valentina is a shining example of how the Abruzzo terroir can best express this noble grape variety. Located in a region where gentle hills embrace the Adriatic Sea, La Valentina cultivates its vines using methods that respect the local ecosystem as much as possible, resulting in wines of exceptional quality and intensity.
"Spelt" is a wine that spends at least 24 months in barriques, followed by additional months in the bottle before being released into the market. The result is a robust and complex wine, with a refined tannic structure that promises excellent aging potential. It presents a deep ruby red color that tends towards garnet shades as it ages.
On the nose, "Spelt" by La Valentina offers an intriguing bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as blackberries and plums, enriched by subtle hints of vanilla, leather, and a light touch of tobacco due to the maturation in wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a taste palette that faithfully reflects the aromatic one, enhanced by a pleasant acidic vein that balances its power.
It pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses. It is best served at a temperature of 18-20°C to appreciate all its nuances.
In summary, the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva DOC "Spelt" by La Valentina is a wine that embodies the elegance and power of Abruzzo, offering a rich and memorable tasting experience, ideal for special occasions or as a prestigious gift for wine lovers.
