Product information on "Montepulciano d'Abruzzo - Tenuta Antonini"

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC from Tenuta Antonini is a powerful yet harmoniously structured red wine from the sunny hills of Abruzzo in Central Italy. The Montepulciano grape variety expresses its full aromatic depth here on clay and limestone soils around Ancarano – a wine that embodies elegance, energy, and Mediterranean warmth.

The grapes are grown in the gently rolling hills near the Adriatic coast, where the climate is characterized by warm days and cool nights – ideal conditions for healthy ripening potential and concentrated aromas. The wine is made from 100% Montepulciano grapes and matures for several months in French oak tonneaux before being bottled.

In the glass, it shows an intense ruby red with violet reflections, which gradually transitions into garnet nuances with increasing maturity. The nose opens with an expressive bouquet of ripe red fruits, especially sour cherry and cherry, accompanied by floral nuances such as violet and rose, as well as finely integrated, sweet spice notes. This floral freshness harmonizes with a subtle spiciness carried by soft wood and herbs.

On the palate, the wine convinces with its full structure and warmth. It is dry, round, and soft, with well-integrated acidity that provides freshness, and a pleasant tannin structure that creates length and balance. The fruity aromas continue, complemented by spicy notes and a fine, harmonious wood component from the tonneaux aging.

This Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC presents itself as a full-bodied, structured red wine with deep character and Mediterranean personality. It is powerful enough to accompany hearty dishes, and elegant enough to be enjoyed on its own – an authentic expression of the Abruzzo terroir.
