Sottovento Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC 2020 - Cantine Torri

Sensory notes \ n \ n Color : A bright ruby red with violet reflections and a fair consistency. \ n Nose: very fragrant and vigorous, the fruity wins you over with jam blackberries, plums, sour cherries and a nice undergrowth. \ n Taste : in the sip you are conquered by a dry softness and a proportionate warmth that seem to coexist in perfect harmony with a moderate freshness, a beautiful minerality and magically velvety tannins. The flavor agrees perfectly with the olfactory hints and to which perhaps we could add a delicate spiciness and a wine with minimally bitter tips. \ n \ n Harvest \ nBorn in one of the most suitable areas of Abruzzo, from an old vineyard raised in Tendone, at an ideal altitude to guarantee a formidable temperature range and with a magnificent exposure. \ nAn extraordinary Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC obtained from a strictly manual harvest in early October of certified organic farming, which ensures the utmost respect for the surrounding environment. \ n \ n Vinification \ nVinification carried out in thermo-conditioned steel vats followed by a malolactic fermentation and a subsequent maturation of 6 months in concrete tanks, and then bottled in the total absence of oxygen. \ n \ n How to combine our Sottovento Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC wine \ nTo be served at 14-16 degrees and possibly with a nice large glass, always uncorking it a little before serving, so as to allow it to open well and express itself at better. \ nImpeccable on any occasion, it can be enjoyed alone and in company, preferably paired with well-structured and tasty dishes: aperitifs, appetizers, vegetarian dishes, red meats and medium and long-aged cheeses. \ n \ n Imagine Italian bruschetta, fettuccine with porcini mushrooms, grilled cockerel, peppers stuffed with meat or a plateau of aged cheeses.
