The wine

Description and technical sheet

The Montepulciano Riserva Spelt di La Valentina is obtained from 100% Montepulciano grapes. The original vineyards cover 20 hectares among the municipalities of Spoltore, San Valentino, and Scafa (PE) on clayey soils, at an altitude ranging from 150 to 400 meters above sea level. The harvest was done by hand during the first week of October. During vinification, alcoholic fermentation with maceration of the must on the skins is carried out for about 3 weeks in stainless steel tanks. Aging took place for 16 months, partly in 25-hectoliter oak barrels and partly in both new and second-passage barriques and tonneaux. Before being released, the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Spelt from La Valentina rested for 12 months in the bottle.

MONTEPULCIANO RISERVA SPELT LA VALENTINA: TASTING

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Spelt from La Valentina is an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it releases scents of ripe blackberries and potpourri of rose and violet, followed by hints of aromatic herbs, and evolved notes of leather, tobacco, and dark spices. The taste is soft and structured, with a solid tannic texture and a persistent finish of licorice and cherry. It is perfect at the table paired with aged cheeses or rich meat dishes based on red meats.
