Roveri Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a captivating expression of Abruzzo’s winemaking heritage, crafted with 100% Montepulciano grapes grown in the picturesque vineyards of Ortona, Chieti. This DOC wine exemplifies the meticulous care of hand-harvesting in early November, ensuring optimal ripeness. The winemaking process includes a 14-day skin maceration, alternating délestage and pumping over, followed by fermentation at 28°C and soft pressing for gentle extraction. Aging is a balance of tradition and innovation, with six months on fine lees in stainless steel and another six months split between tonneaux and barriques, adding depth and texture. The result is a polished, character-driven red that embodies the essence of its terroir and skilled craftsmanship.
