Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva 2009 TURAN DOCG CANTINE TORRI

This Montepulciano d'Abruzzo wine from Cantine Torri is made from pure Montepulciano d'Abruzzo grapes from Controguerra, Teramo: the vineyard, over 50 years old, is located at an ideal altitude to ensure optimal temperature range as well as perfect exposure. The bunches are hand-picked during the late October harvest: this is followed by steel winemaking and subsequent malolactic fermentation, with a 6-month rest in concrete tanks. Final maturation takes no less than 30 months in large barrel before a final 8-month aging in bottle.

Characteristics of this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Reserve

It has a deep ruby red color with garnet hues. The olfactory notes recall flowers, dried fruit, coffee and cocoa. On the palate it is intense, sensual, pleasantly persistent. It is striking for its hints of roasting, spices and licorice.
