MONTEPULCIANO D’ABRUZZO DOP RED WINE

The Montepulciano grapes used to make this wonderful red are sourced from the beautiful vineyards of the Abruzzo region of Italy, guaranteed by its DOP label. The deep ruby red colour and purple reflections make way for a pleasant vinuous bouquet of ripe red fruits, and spices. It has a satisfying full flavour, round, harmonious, rightly tannic and with tones of red fruits with liquorice notes.

Serve at room temperature and enjoy with roast game, pork and sausage meals.
