Red wine | Terre di Chieti, Abruzzo, Italy
Imagine yourself transported to the sun-drenched hills of Abruzzo, Italy, where the Gran Sasso mountain range casts a majestic shadow over the vineyards. It is here, amidst this stunning landscape, that the Terra Vera winery crafts its exceptional Gran Sasso Sangiovese Edizione Limitata. This is not just a wine; it's an experience, a journey for your senses.
This wine is made exclusively from hand-picked Sangiovese grapes grown in the Terre di Chieti I.G.P. region, the heartland of Abruzzo's winemaking tradition. 'Edizione Limitata' means that only a small number of bottles is produced each year.
As you bring the glass to your nose, you'll be greeted by an enticing bouquet of aromas. Ripe cherries and plums intertwine with subtle hints of spice and earthiness, creating a complex and layered olfactory experience. On the palate, the wine is dry and well-balanced, with a medium body and smooth tannins. Flavors of cherry and red fruit dominate, accompanied by subtle notes of spice and a pleasant earthy undertone that adds depth and complexity. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving you with a lingering taste of the Italian countryside.
The Gran Sasso Sangiovese Edizione Limitata is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Its vibrant acidity and balanced tannins make it an excellent partner for tomato-based pasta dishes, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. Picture it alongside a plate of spaghetti Bolognese, the rich sauce harmonizing perfectly with the wine's fruity notes. Or, imagine savoring it with a grilled steak, the tannins cutting through the richness of the meat. For a lighter pairing, try it with a selection of Italian cheeses and cured meats, the wine's acidity cleansing the palate between bites. It also complements pizza.
This wine is best served at a temperature of 16°C to fully appreciate its aromas and flavors. Allow it to breathe for a few minutes before serving to unlock its full potential.
