Descrizione

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.

Its aging in steel preserves the original freshness, making it versatile for pairings. It pairs well with meat dishes, flavorful cured meats, and aged cheeses, ideal for those looking for a wine that can tell the story of Abruzzo in every sip.

Winery history

According to company sources and informational materials, Fontezoppa was established in the late 1990s to showcase the vineyards of the hills between sea and mountains. Ownership and management are tied to the Luzi family; the business has developed by combining native varieties and international cultivars, with an approach that also encompasses wine tourism experiences.

Production philosophy

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located between Civitanova Alta and the area of Serrapetrona, in the Marche hinterland between the Adriatic coast and the Monti Azzurri. The soils are described as having a calcarenitic/sandy-calcareous matrix; altitudes and microclimate vary between the coastal hills and the mountain slopes where Vernaccia Nera is traditionally grown.
