Fantini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2017 |
Ruby red with garnet reflections, the bouquet is fruity and quite persistent, reminiscent of red fruits, marasca cherries, and plums with vanilla nuances. Full-bodied on the palate, with good balance and firm tannins. Immediately appealing and versatile.
Pairs well with salami, savory first courses, red meats and cheeses.
Farnese Fantini's 100% Montepulciano wine is made from 10- 20 year old vines grown near in several small vineyards near the Southern Italian town of Abruzzo, between the Appennine mountains and the Adriatic Sea. This is a concentrated wine yet has soft tannins that will age beautifully. Serve it with pasta dishes, red meats, and seasoned cheeses. The wine has aromas of black and red berries. Soft on the palate, flavors of maraschino cherries, plums and spices with a clean, dry finish.
