WINE DESCRIPTION
The story of Donini begins at the turn of the 20th century, in a trattoria located in Milano. Many regulars would stay after closing to chat with the owner, Signore Donini, while indulging in a good glass of wine. He soon began sourcing attractive wines to bear his own name for his customers' private cellars.
Today, Donini offers a collection of important and popular Italian varieties and denominations, primarily from the Veneto, known for their quality and affordability.
Their Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is deep ruby red with an intense, berry-like bouquet. Dry and savory, with hints of blackberry jam and good tannins, it pairs well with baked fish, tomato salad, roasted pork loin, or Caciocavallo cheese.
