Area of production

The vineyards extend in the area of Pescosansonesco at 550 m.a.s.l., in the core of Grans Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park. The terroir is clay-calcareous, rich in organic matter, located on a slope facing north-east. The summer climate is dry and well ventilated.
Production process

Mechanical harvesting in the middle of October. Maceration and fermentation in stainless steal vats for 8-10 days with selected yeast at controlled temperature (22°-24°). Spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine ages 12 months in 20hl and 60hl big oak barrels and then 6 months in the bottle.
Fun facts

The Montepulciano is an Abruzzo native variety: it prefers clayey soils, tolerates droughts and ripens late. The concentration of anthocianins is one of the highest in the world. Rich in tannins, it may result astringent if enjoyed young. The red fruit notes amaze for their intensity.
