A classic 100% Montepulciano from south and south-west facing slopes at 200 metres elevation near Roseto degli Abruzzi, on silty loam soils. Hand harvested with in-vineyard selection at 13.0 t/ha.

Immediately crushed and destemmed, with fermentation in stainless steel. Racked through malolactic fermentation, then aged a further four months in bottle prior to release — producing a balanced, approachable and food-friendly style.

Appearance: Deep, vibrant red.
Nose: Varietal and inviting, with ripe red fruit aromas.
Palate: Savoury and full, with smooth, well-integrated tannins and a rounded, easy-drinking finish.
