The Farnese Fantini Montepulciano D'Abruzzo 2022 from Farnese Vini is a beautifully crafted red wine that offers a true reflection of its terroir in the Abruzzo region of Italy. This wine greets you with enticing aromas of ripe red berries, black cherries, and a touch of earthy spices. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth tannin structure, and its bright acidity is perfectly balanced with juicy fruit flavours. The deep ruby colour signals the wine’s complexity, while the long finish leaves a lingering, pleasant impression.

The grapes for this wine are sourced from vineyards located around the towns of Ortona, San Salvo, and Pollutri, nestled on the Adriatic coast. These vineyards face south-east and are planted on clay and limestone soils, with vines trained on guyot and pergola systems, ensuring optimal ripening. The careful winemaking process involves cold maceration for four days, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at temperatures between 24-26°C for 8-10 days to preserve the fresh fruit characteristics.

This Montepulciano D'Abruzzo is versatile when it comes to food pairings. It works beautifully with rich pasta dishes, grilled meats, and roasted vegetables. Its smooth tannins and balanced acidity make it an ideal complement to hearty meals. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses and charcuterie.

Recognised as an International Gold Medal Winner for the previous vintage, the Farnese Fantini Montepulciano D'Abruzzo continues to impress with its craftsmanship and consistency. Farnese Vini, rated “Best Producer Of Italy” by Luca Maroni in 2016, 2017, and 2019, has been a consistent leader in producing high-quality Italian wines. This Montepulciano D'Abruzzo is a testament to their commitment to quality and their ability to showcase the very best of the Abruzzo region.
