WINE DESCRIPTION
De Fermo Prologo Montepulciano d'Abruzzo stands as the flagship wine of the esteemed De Fermo winery. Sourced from Montepulciano grapes cultivated in Loreto Aprutino, an area known for yielding exceptional wines, the vineyards feature pebbly and clay soils. The grapes undergo a meticulous manual harvest, and in the cellar, natural fermentation transpires in cement tanks without the introduction of selected yeasts. The wine matures for two years in wooden barrels, remaining unfiltered before bottling. As a biodynamic wine, the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Prologo is a harmonious blend of power and elegance, showcasing soft yet structured complexity. It epitomizes a full-bodied, layered, and supremely elegant red wine.
