Rich and robust from old vines that over deliver on both flavour and value.
An intense wine with cherry, ripe plum fruit aromas and warm, earthy spice. The palate is densely packed with morello cherry, cassis and bramble fruit flavours. Tannins are ripe, giving structure to a substantial wine with a fresh sappy finish.
Produced from selected parcels of Montepulciano grapes, from low yielding 30 to 50 year old vines in the Chieti province of Abruzzo.
Fermentation took place in small batches between 28 and 30C using natural yeasts. The skins were left in contact with the fermenting wine for 10 days. After malolactic fermentation the wine was transferred to Adria's cellars and matured in a combination of large Slavonian oak casks and French oak barriques for 6-8 months.
Pasta with Bolognese sauce, beef casserole or any grilled or roasted meats.
