Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva "A Marianna", Praesidium - 2019

750 mL
Item # 28220

Praesidium is a 7 hectare estate in the Peligna Valley - the birthplace of the Montepulciano grape. White and black peppercorn open to a rich palate of dark fruits. Share over a fine meal of handmade pasta in a sugo-based sauce. This Riserva comes from older Montepulciano vines that grow in calcareous, silty clay, rich in sandstone. The grapes macerated on their skins 15 days and the wine aged 2 years in stainless steel (to preserve freshness) then 2 years in 10 -20 hectoliter Slavonian oak. (10% stayed in 3 pass French barrique).

Abruzzi is most famous for its beautiful expressions of the red Montepulciano and the white Trebbiano, though many winemakers are now beginning to experiment with other grape varietals as well.

Montepulciano

This rugged red staple can be anything from a simply fruited, easy-drinking wine to a serious, more structured offering, complete with all the depth and earthiness that can come from old-vine fruit and ideally placed vineyards.
