Montepulciano D’abruzzo DOC
13.5%
The very symbol of Abruzzo and its wines, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo from the 12 Nodi line presents a ruby red color to the eye, full and bright, with purple highlights; in the glass it dances gracefully, leaving rather dense and thick arches, a symptom of the good alcohol content. Ripe blackberries, underbrush, sour cherries and maraschino cherries stand out in the aromas. A wild note can be sensed that makes it unique. On the palate it expresses all its depth, with a nice structure and good persistence. The acidity, well integrated into the body, gives persistence and the tannins are rarely too aggressive. The finish is savory, sensual, punctuated by memories of black cherry that cannot be equivocated.
