Pemo Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Montepulciano has long been one of Italys most important and versatile grape varieties. The grapes for PEMO Montepulciano are grown exclusively on hillside slopes in the Abruzzo region, at an altitude of at least 250 metres above the sea level. Montepulciano has a rich red colour, with a cherryish nose. A deeply characterful wine with an abundance of flavour, it's delightfully soft and velvety, with red and black berry fruits, and a smooth, gentle finish.

Rich fleshy dark cherry and plum fruits overlay a liquorice, vanillin earth, spice and fresh Mediterranean herb back drop. Polished tannin structure with a ripe slightly rustic feel to the medium length finish. Drink over the next 3-4 years. Alc. 13.8%
