Our Producers

Here you'll find perfect daily drinker that offers mellow fruit(red and black berries) together with savory elements (locals say cured black olives). The grape is called Montepulciano D'Abruzzo --not to be confused with the town of Montepulciano in Tuscany (of Vino Nobile fame).

The region is split vertically by the Apennine Mountains, with vineyard in the hills and mountain areas producing more structured wines. But, even if we're in the center of Italy, one gets the feel of being in the Mezzogiorno or south. A feeling comes over you of whipping up a plate of spaghetti with hot peppers and garlic, to be swished down by a rosè, or, as the local pink is called her: Cerasuolo. The Cerasuolo area remains of of the few areas in Italy where a rosè has traditionally been produced.

Montepulciano can also often produce excellent wine that have a few years on them. If you've never followed a case of wine over a few years, here's an example that's not expensive and requires just a little (not 10 years worth) of patience. An agreeable ager!
