🍇 Tasting Notes

Ruby red with violet highlights. The nose opens with enticing aromas of black cherry, plum and ripe red berries, along with subtle hints of black pepper, tobacco and dried herbs. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, with juicy fruit, integrated tannins and a smooth finish underscored by earthy spice and soft, savoury notes.

🍽️ Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted lamb, pork ragu, tomato-based pasta dishes, pizza and aged cheeses. Also works well with charcuterie boards and rustic Italian fare. Serve at 16–18 °C for best flavour expression.

🏡 Winemaking & Story

Made from Montepulciano grapes grown on the sun-drenched slopes of Abruzzo, close to the Apennine foothills and Adriatic breezes. The warm Mediterranean climate, coupled with cooling influences from the nearby sea, helps produce grapes with concentrated fruit flavours and balanced acidity.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel to retain pure varietal fruit expression, followed by a short period of ageing (often in large neutral vessels) to refine texture — bringing depth, drinkability and authentic regional character to the wine.
