The Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC Terre Forti is born in the heart of Abruzzo, a region that strongly expresses its wine-growing vocation thanks to well-drained hilly soils and an ideal climate for growing Montepulciano, one of the most representative native grape varieties. This wine is characterized by an intense ruby red color, which anticipates a broad and enveloping bouquet, dominated by aromas of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and a light balsamic note typical of the grape variety.
The aging, generally conducted in steel with a possible passage in wood, helps to maintain freshness and soft tannins, balancing structure and pleasure. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with a silky tannin that invites drinking and a fragrant persistence. Perfect paired with meat dishes, with strong flavors such as roasts and game, it is also an excellent companion for aged cheeses and hearty first courses. Terroir, grape variety, and technique thus merge into a typical expression deeply rooted in Abruzzo tradition.
