The Contesa Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2023 is a true expression of the rich terroir of Italy. This deep red wine boasts aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and blackberries, with a hint of spice and earthiness. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a perfect balance of tannins and acidity. The flavours of dark fruits are complemented by notes of tobacco and a touch of vanilla. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lingering sensation of juicy blackberries and a touch of cocoa. This wine is a perfect representation of the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo region, with its complex yet approachable character. Aged to perfection in 2023, this wine is a testament to the expertise and passion of Contesa, a producer based in Italy. Enjoy it with a hearty Italian meal or on its own, for a truly authentic experience.

Danielle Callegari - Wine Enthusiast
The very umami, peppery nose is layered with underbrush, soil, crushed herbs and black plums, and the palate has a similarly spicy, peppery feel, but with more sweetness emphasized by ripe berries. Tannins are structured but satiny.
