Wine Description:
Valentini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a highly sought-after wine produced by the Valentini family in the Abruzzo region of Italy. The wine is made from the Montepulciano grape variety grown in the family's vineyards, which are situated on the slopes of the Gran Sasso mountain range. The vineyards are characterized by their high altitude, which results in a cooler climate and longer growing season, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including extended maceration and aging in large oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with intense flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes. Its exceptional quality and limited production make it a highly sought-after wine among collectors and enthusiasts.
Pros:
  • Valentini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo has a deep and vibrant ruby color with a light garnet hue. It has a nose full of ripe black cherry, plum, and hints of licorice. The palate is well balanced with soft tannins and a long finish
