Tasting Notes

The Montepulciano d’Abruzzo RISERVA “COLLE MAGGIO” is produced on the Colle Maggio hillside, in Villamagna, using Specific vineyard techniques to reduce yields per hectare, where only the best grapes are designated to the production of the riserva version.

Its deep, inky red colour will seduce you, inspiring calm and reflection. The refined nose profile hints at autumn leaves and ripe fruit unfolding to reveal raspberry and spices, with notes of coffee, tobacco and cocoa powder in the finale. The wine is full-bodied and well-structured but never aggressive, with the time spent in the wood adding a hint of spice in the close, and the note of cocoa powder accentuating and underscoring the roundness and a stunning balance.

We suggest pairing COLLE MAGGIO RISERVA with calf fillet with crispy bacon in Montepulciano sauce is highly recommended.
