A dry, rich, robust wine with subtle flavors of cherry and cedar with a smoothness reminiscent of the fine montepulciano grapes used to make it.

Abruzzi is a major producer of wine with volumes that exceed those of the entire nations of Austria or Chile or Hungary or Greece, yet the region isn't as well known as it deserves to be. Beyond quantity, a growing number of wines prove the quality potential of the hills between the Adriatic Sea and the highest peaks of the Apennines in the Gran Sasso range near the regional capital of L'Aquila. The predominant varieties are Montepulciano (not to be confused with the town of that name in Tuscany) and Trebbiano, source of the region wide D.O.C.s. Montepulciano D'Abruzzo combines robust power with finesse in wines that have been winning increasing praise from the critics.
