Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a type of wine grape as well as a type of red wine made from these same grapes in the Abruzzo region of east-central Italy. It is typically a fruity, dry wine with soft tannins, and as such is often consumed young. This wine should not be confused with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a Tuscan wine made from Sangiovese and other grapes, but not the Montepulciano variety.
The quality of Montepulciano wines produced in Abruzzo has been constantly improving in the last ten years, making Abruzzi, once a backwater in winemaking, one of the most interesting locales in the Italian scene. This is a wine we have been selling for the last seven vintages and its never failed to deliver outstanding value.
