Aromas of mineral, herb, berry fruit and spice converge to form the beautifully balanced nose of this Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. No one element dominates over the others and the wine is polished and lively on the palate. Pair it with wintery meat dishes.

The nose is broad and penetrating with integrated mineral tones that stand at the back of plump fruit and exotic spice. This Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is a big, muscular wine with firm structure and polished tannins that would pair with cheesy chili rellenos.

The Pecorino grape is one of the hottest native varieties to emerge from Italy. Quality minded producer La Valentina presents a beautiful, structured expression with intense aromas of melon, apricot, butterscotch and yellow candy.

Here’s a clean and well-balanced rosé with a fresh bouquet of fruity and floral aromas, followed by a crisp, tonic mouthfeel. This is exactly the kind of wine that is appropriate to serve at outdoor picnics or with friends at lunch. Very nice.

Freshly milled black pepper, clove and Indian spice act as an aromatic preface to black fruit, prune and raisin. The wine is firm and compact in the mouth with some bitter flavors that would match cheesy pepperoni pizza.

This is an inky and extracted Montepulciano d’Abruzzo with raw fruit aromas of blueberry and blackberry that follow spice and moist tobacco. The wine has some chewy heaviness and ends with dense cherry pulp.
