La Fiera Montepulciano D’abruzzo

Description

”ideal with pasta courses and red meat. Appellation montepulciano d’abruzzo doc. Heading due east from rome lays the region of abruzzo. Montepulciano d’abruzzo was designated as a doc in 1968. It covers most of abruzzo ranging from molise in the south the marche in the north and inland against the apennines mountains. The wines are at least 85% montepulciano (with sangiovese permitted). In parts of the abruzzi most notably in the low hills of the northern province of teramo montepulciano becomes a red of irresistible character – full-bodied even robust with a capacity to age but with such supple smoothness that it can be eminently drinkable even when young. Vintage information due to the higher than normal diurnal temperatures of the 2015 growing season the wine shows a delicate aromatic profile. Winemaking harvesting took place in the end of september/beginning of october. Traditional red wine vinification occurs at a controlled temperature between 77º and 80º f.
