Description
This Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva from the winery Orlandi Contucci Ponno represents the most authoritative expression of Montepulciano Colline Teramane, produced only in the best vintages from selected grapes in Roseto degli Abruzzi. The sandy-loam soils and favorable climate give the wine great concentration and longevity.
After a vinification with prolonged maceration, the wine is aged in first-pass barriques and tonneaux for 24-30 months, and subsequently in bottle for about a year before commercialization.
In appearance, it is an intense ruby red with garnet reflections. The aroma is complex, with black cherries, blackberries, blood orange, cinnamon, and cloves. The taste is full-bodied, powerful yet elegant, with mature tannins and a long, persistent finish.
It pairs well with roasted meats, braised dishes, game, and richly structured dishes.
