Introduction:
The 2023 Atillia Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a smooth and fruit-forward red that reflects the classic style of central Italy’s Abruzzo region. Made entirely from Montepulciano grapes, this wine is approachable, food-friendly, and easy to enjoy.
Terrior:
Hailing from the hilly vineyards of Abruzzo, the vines benefit from a mix of clay and limestone soils with significant diurnal temperature swings. These growing conditions enhance color intensity and aromatic development, while maintaining the grape’s natural acidity.
Appearance:
Deep ruby with purple highlights, youthful and vibrant in the glass.
Nose:
Aromas of ripe black cherry and plum are lifted by hints of violet, dried herbs, and a touch of earthiness.
Palate:
Soft and supple on the palate, with flavors of dark berries, red plum, and a whisper of spice. The tannins are smooth and integrated, making for a balanced, medium-bodied wine with juicy freshness.
Finish:
Clean and mellow, with lingering notes of ripe fruit and subtle savory undertones.
Overall Impression:
The 2023 Atillia Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a reliable and easy-drinking red that offers great value. It’s versatile enough for pizza night, pasta with red sauce, or grilled meats, making it a go-to for casual, hearty meals.
