Valle Reale Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a premium red wine produced by Valle Reale, a renowned winery in the Abruzzo region of Italy. The wine is made from Montepulciano grapes grown in the vineyards located in the foothills of the Majella mountains. 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 winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including fermentation and aging in stainless steel tanks. 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.
