This is a lively expression of Montepulciano, fruitful and forward. With flavours of cherry and blackberry and a lifted floral note, it's medium bodied with supple freshness. Organically grown, estate fruit is fermented and then aged in stainless steel and Slavonian oak. 

The region of Abruzzo, and the Montepulciano grape have long been associated with cheap, bulk red wine. Modern producers like La Valentina have changed that. They’re showing that the variety is capable of making serious, detailed reds. Having purchased the estate in 1990, the Di Properzio brothers, they fully took the reins in 1994. They are committed to growing varieties traditional to the region, and to organic practices.
