DOC Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC is located in the Abruzzo region, in the center-east of Italy. Established in 1968, this appellation produces red wines made primarily from the flavorful Montepulciano d'Abruzzo grape variety (minimum 85%), and Sangiovese may sometimes be used in the blends. The region offers an ideal Mediterranean climate for the ripening of these two varieties, creating fruity cuvées, round, intense, and flavorful. Finally, if your bottle bears the mention DOC Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva, this means your wine has been aged for at least two full years, including a minimum of 9 months in wood.
