Vigneti Del Sole Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Red Wine 750ml

100% Montepulciano

The Montepulciano grapes were grown on calcareous soil and clay from vineyards located in Central Italy, close to the Adriatic Sea, between Chieti and Casalbordino, in the Abruzzo region. After vinification was complete, the wine is left to maceration with the skins. Frequent pressings were conducted with fermentation at a controlled temperature of about 25-28° C. Malolactic fermentation resumes in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then left to age for another 4 months in bottle before release

In 1925, brothers Natale, Nicola, Riccardo and Umberto moved from Puglia to Veneto and established their company, Vigneti del Sole, in Verona. Their philosophy, based on constant attention to quality in all aspects of viticulture and winemaking, carried over to the second generation of brothers, Carlo, Giorgio and Umberto, who, along with their now grown sons and daughters, continue to run the prosperous wine company. In 2000, the family decided to return to their southern roots and set up winemaking operations back in Puglia, where they cultivate local varietals. This independent, family-owned winery has, for years, been successfully producing wines packed with fruit, liveliness and the superb characteristics of their region.
