A young and immediately drinkable wine: ruby red colour with violet tints, delicate aromas of plum and morello cherry, robust and medium-bodied in the mouth, soft, generous tannins, with a dry and flavourful finish.

Pairs splendidly with pasta with meat sauces, roast white and red meat, chicken and rabbit chasseur, mixed grills and pizza!

Montepulciano is one of the most widespread indigenous varieties in Italy, and is cultivated predominently along the Adriatic side of the peninsula. The Umani Ronchi version of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is intended to be an interpretation of this vine which aims to exalt its varietal characteristics and its freshness, combining these qualities with just the right amount of charm and softness.

"All our vineyards, from the Verdicchio to the Montepulciano, are farmed organically. For us, this was a technical decision rather than an ideological one. Organic farming requires balance in nature and a range of crops, trees and herbs that make up a biodiverse environment. The plants thrive on Umani Ronchi lands leaving space for a viticulture that gets the best out of the grapes we grow without compromising the quality of the wines. At Umani Ronchi, organic means quality."

"A vivid, bright and textured red, showing aromas of dark cherries, blueberries and mild spices. It’s medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. Juicy crushed-berry character at the center with a delicious stream of sour cherries and a flavorful finish with excellent length. Drink or hold."
