Montepulciano d’Abruzzo

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Torre dei Beati was born in Loreto Aprutino, 300 meters above sea level, from clayey-limestone soils that close the valley of the Tavo stream, rising towards the 3,000 meters of the Gran Sasso. The vineyards here enjoy an optimal position for their ripening: during the day, in fact, temperate air comes from the sea; at night, however, the cold descends from the mountain, already whitened by snow in September.

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC is the first wine produced by Torre dei Beati. An elegant and personal interpretation of the territory’s Montepulciano, is obtained from graded collections, followed by further sorting on the table of choice, carried out throughout the Loreto Aprutino vineyard. The use of wood in maturation has the aim of facilitating the natural achievement of stability, maintaining the cleanliness of the fruit and completing it with a discreet and balanced contribution of spice.

Montepulciano Torre dei Beati is ruby ​​red with violet reflections, of good density; it has a typical and elegant nose, in which the fruit is clear and well expressed, slightly embellished with spiciness deriving in part from the original characteristics of the old vineyard of origin, in part from the non-invasive aging in wood. The consistent structure gives the wine a good roundness, in balance with the presence of well-developed tannins which contribute, together with the natural salinity and the slight acid vein, to an elegant persistence finish.
