The Cantina Tollo Rocca Ventosa Terre Di Chieti IGP Sangiovese 2022 is a beautifully crafted medium-structured red wine that highlights the unique terroir of the Abruzzo region. Founded in 1960 by 20 local farmers, Cantina Tollo has since become a leading winery that preserves the ancient winemaking tradition of the area, benefiting from an ideal microclimate created by mild sea breezes and cool currents from the Maiella mountain.

This Sangiovese is sourced exclusively from hillside vineyards in Tollo, Giuliano Teatino, and Ortona, where the cool climate and varied soil types contribute to the wine's depth and complexity. The fruit undergoes controlled maceration for 7-8 days at low temperatures to ensure optimal extraction of color and flavor. After fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for 3 months, with a further refinement in barriques to add complexity.

The 2022 vintage displays an intense ruby red color with light purple highlights. The nose is filled with ripe red fruits such as wild cherry, alongside an elegant spice finish that adds depth to the wine's bouquet. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a good structure and balance, offering velvety tannins that lead to a persistent, smooth finish.

This Sangiovese represents exceptional value, with its approachable style and smooth character making it perfect for a wide range of occasions. It pairs beautifully with dishes like roasted meats, pasta with tomato-based sauces, and charcuterie.

Cantina Tollo has been recognized as the Best Wine Producer in Europe at the Great International Wine Awards and the Mundus Vini Awards, and praised by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for offering "bargains" in today's high-priced wine market.
