Description

Discover the soul of the Abruzzo region with the Val di Fara Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva by Cantine Spinelli. Crafted by a family-run winery that has been dedicated to viticulture for three generations, this wine is a testament to the harmony between the Maiella massif and the Adriatic Sea. This Riserva is produced from 100% Montepulciano grapes grown on hilly, clay-limestone soils at an average altitude of 230 meters, ensuring optimal ripening and character.

Upon pouring, you are greeted by a deep ruby red color that develops refined garnet reflections over time. On the nose, it offers a rich and persistent bouquet characterized by intense notes of ripe red fruits—such as cherries and berries—complemented by sophisticated spicy nuances and a delicate touch of vanilla, a direct result of its meticulous aging process in oak barrels. On the palate, this wine strikes an exquisite balance between robustness and elegance. It features well-structured, smooth tannins that provide a full-bodied experience without being overwhelming, leading to a long, aromatic, and lingering finish.

This wine is exceptionally versatile, making it a perfect companion for your table. It excels when paired with traditional Mediterranean cuisine. We highly recommend serving it alongside hearty meat dishes, such as roasts, game, or grilled red meats. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses, legume soups, and pasta dishes featuring rich red sauces. Whether you are hosting a formal dinner or enjoying a cozy meal, the Val di Fara Riserva brings the authentic, bold, and welcoming spirit of Abruzzo directly to your glass. It is a fantastic choice for those who value tradition, quality, and a wine that beautifully reflects its terroir.
