How it's made

Produced from selected parcels of Montepulciano grapes, from low yielding 30-50 year old vines in the Chieti province of Abruzzo. Fermentation took place in small batches between 82º to 86ºF (28º to 30ºC) using natural yeasts. The skins were left in contact with the fermenting wine for ten days. After malolactic fermentation the wine was transferred to Adria's cellars and matured in a combination of large Slavonian oak casks and French oak barriques for six to eight months.

Tasting Notes​

An intense wine with cherry, ripe plum fruit aromas and a touch of warm, earthy spice. The palate is densely packed with morello cherry, cassis and bramble fruit flavors. Tannins are ripe, giving structure to a substantial wine with a fresh sappy finish.
