Red wine | Abruzzo, Italy
Imagine yourself transported to the sun-drenched hills of Abruzzo, Italy, where the Adriatic breeze whispers through the vineyards of Il Poggio dei Vigneti. This Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is more than just a wine; it's an invitation to experience the rustic charm and authentic flavors of this beautiful region. This red wine, made from the local Montepulciano grapes, reflects the tradition. The color is a deep ruby red, hinting at the richness to come. The aroma will remind you of cherries, plums, and a touch of earth. The first taste feels dry, with a pleasant touch of tannins that give it structure and a full body. It is a wine that reflects the simplicity and the quality of Abruzzo. The winery 'Il Poggio dei Vigneti' is a small, family-owned estate dedicated to crafting wines that express the true character of the Abruzzo terroir. Their Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a testament to their commitment, offering exceptional value and genuine regional flavor. It’s perfect with a variety of dishes. Think of a hearty pasta dish with tomato sauce and meatballs, a grilled steak with rosemary potatoes, or aged cheeses. Its robust character also makes it a great companion to a simple margherita pizza. Serving it at around 18°C will help the wine express all of its aromas and flavors. This is not a wine that needs to be kept in the cellar for years. It is ready to drink and enjoy now. So, open a bottle, gather your friends and family, and enjoy the taste of the Abruzzo countryside!
Cherry and plum, nice! Easy drinking red, perfect for pasta night. I'd have it again.
