WINE DESCRIPTION
Contesa Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a high-quality red wine produced by the Contesa winery in the Abruzzo region of Italy. The wine is made from the Montepulciano grape variety, which is grown in the winery's vineyards that benefit from the region's ideal climate and soil conditions. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with rich flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of earthiness. It is a perfect match for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Montepulciano d'Abruzzo from Contesa is a bold and robust red, with aromas of dark cherry and dried herbs.On the palate, the wine shows a lovely balance between its ripe tannins and juicy acidity, with flavors of blackberry, cassis, and licorice. The finish is long and silky, with hints of sweet spice lingering on the tongue. Enjoy now, or cellar for a few more years.
