Sottovento Montepulciano DOC Organic
Sottovento is a velvety, ripe fruited Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC that coats the palate in a ton of flavour. Ripe red cherries dangling with dark plums and bramble fruits on the nose. There is a smoky, cacao edge too. On the palate there is an unbelievable creaminess. Dark plums, blackberries and blackcurrants come out to play again on a fresh cherry backdrop. The cacao has evolved into a smooth milk chocolate, balanced by a savoury waft of tobacco. There is a vibrant medium acidity and a mineral complex finish. A rich, round red with a stylish label. Perfect for pairing with a rich spaghetti bolognese, bbq pork ribs or roast duck breast.
Wine in Tube Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 3L Barrel aged
An exceptional wine, a delicious example of what the Montepulciano grape can do. The nose is laden with bright cherries, red plums and ripe strawberries with a beautiful violet tone running through. On the palate we have lashings of sweet ripe fruit: red cherries, juicy red plums, ripe strawberries and wild raspberries. There is an extra layer of cinnamon, cloves and balsamic notes. Toffee and nutty characters on the finish. Aged in large oak casks, it is soft, juicy and ripe. Lovely balance of intense fruit and freshness.
