Fresh, organic Montepulciano with plum, dark fruit and fragrant herbs

An organic Montepulciano d’Abruzzo with a refreshingly light touch. Francesco Cirelli takes a minimal-intervention approach, fermenting the wine in stainless steel to keep the fruit bright and unmasked. Medium-bodied and naturally food-friendly, it shows the generous plum character of Montepulciano alongside fresh herbal notes and lively acidity.

Tasting Notes: Red and black plum fruit with a fresh scent of herbs. Medium-bodied, juicy and balanced with an appealingly fresh finish.

Food Pairing: Excellent with pizza, especially smoky sausage, as well as tomato-based pasta, grilled vegetables and charcuterie.

ABV: 12.5%

Grape Blend: Montepulciano 100%

Region: Abruzzo

Francesco Cirelli farms organically near Atri in Abruzzo, just a few kilometres from the Adriatic. The certified organic estate works with a low-intervention philosophy centred on natural cycles and traditional farming.

Abruzzo

Abruzzo is made up of vast areas of protected national parks, making its landscapes some of the most beautiful and greenest in Italy. The picturesque contrast between the Adriatic coastline in the east and the Apennines in the west allows for a diverse and vibrant agricultural ecosystem. The result is some of the most unique and authentic cuisine in Italy.

Lamb is the king of the region, with arrosticini being lamb skewers traditionally roasted over an open fire. Abruzzo is also home to salame ventricina, a salami made with coarsely-chopped pork, pepper and fennel seeds.

The region’s rugged terrain and mountainous peaks create the perfect climate for vineyards. Witness the world-famous Montepulciano wines within the Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) classification.
