Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021 Paride d'Angelo

Paride d'Angelo's Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a wine that has its roots in the picturesque hills and plains of Pescara that surround the Adriatic coast, the famous area of origin of the most famous Montepulciano d'Abruzzo wines. This wine is the result of a careful selection of Montepulciano grapes, a variety that shares its name with the town of Montepulciano in Tuscany, even though it is not grown there. A direct and authentic expression of the excellent characteristics of the variety, preserved only in stainless steel, the fruit is dynamic, soft and round, contrasting with marine notes that release freshness in a long and satisfying finish. The vineyards, cultivated using the traditional Abruzzo pergola system, have an average age of 65 years and are planted on clayey, south-facing soils. The grapes are carefully selected and vinified in the cellar with a long maceration on the skins for 1 month. During the maceration, fermentation starts spontaneously thanks to indigenous yeasts and the absence of added sulphites. Ageing takes place in stainless steel vats and then in the bottle for a total of 9 months, a choice that allows the terroir to fully manifest itself. In the glass, the light ruby colour with hints of young violets catches the eye and promises an intense sensory experience. The palate is elegant and smooth, with notes of freshness, velvety tannins and a long fruity finish. On the nose, it has a light aroma of sea and wild cherry, with floral notes of red roses and tobacco leaves that enrich the bouquet. This Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is the perfect accompaniment to rich and tasty meat and vegetable dishes.
