Descrizione

The Montepulciano D’Abruzzo DOP "Divus" from the Ciavolich winery is a superb expression of one of Abruzzo's most representative grape varieties. This red wine stands out for its rich and complex profile, offering a unique sensory experience for wine lovers.

Produced through a meticulous selection process of Montepulciano grapes, the harvest for this wine takes place only when the grapes reach perfect ripeness. After picking, the grapes undergo controlled-temperature maceration to extract intense colors and robust tannins, followed by malolactic fermentation to add softness and complexity to the bouquet.

The "Divus" features a deep ruby red color with violet reflections. On the nose, it opens with aromas of ripe red fruits like cherry and plum, accompanied by spicy notes of black pepper and a subtle hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full and enveloping, with a well-balanced tannic structure leading to a long and persistent finish.

Ideal for pairing with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, the Montepulciano D’Abruzzo DOP "Divus" from Ciavolich is perfect for special occasions or as an exquisite gift for connoisseurs. It is recommended to serve it at around 18°C to enhance all its aromatic and flavor qualities.

This wine not only represents the winemaking heritage of Abruzzo but is also a testament to the Ciavolich winery's commitment to producing quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. A true gem for aficionados of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo.
