La Quercia Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

A magnificent and beautifully expressive Central Italian red wine displaying an intense ruby-red color with rich violet highlights. The fresh, highly aromatic nose opens with an inviting bouquet of wild mulberries, crunchy sour cherries, and ripe black plums, masterfully layered with sophisticated notes of topsoil, sweet fennel, cardamom, and a warm touch of clove. On the medium-bodied palate, it offers exceptional energy and a tense, lively mouthfeel, balancing its juicy core of pure dark fruit with an assertive, mouth-watering acidity and a framework of medium-firm, furry tannins that carry into a moderately long, clean, and wonderfully savory finish with a faint wisp of rustic smoke.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with hearty Italian dishes like slow-cooked lamb ragù over pappardelle, grilled fennel sausages, rich eggplant parmigiana, wood-fired artisan pizzas, and mature pecorino cheese.
