Deep ruby red in color, this Montepulciano opens with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry layered with subtle notes of spice and dried herbs. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, offering generous dark fruit flavors supported by soft tannins and balanced acidity. Hints of cocoa and earth add depth without overwhelming the fruit. The finish is smooth, round, and pleasantly lingering.

The Estate

Della Scala focuses on producing approachable, regionally expressive Italian wines that highlight classic varietals and everyday drinkability. Rooted in Abruzzo’s winemaking traditions, the brand delivers consistent quality with a strong emphasis on balance and value.

Wine Making

Montepulciano grapes are sourced from vineyards across Abruzzo, benefiting from warm days and cooling mountain breezes that promote ripeness while preserving freshness. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel to maintain fruit purity, followed by brief aging to soften tannins and integrate flavors. The winemaking approach emphasizes approachability and food-friendly structure.

Food Suggestions

This versatile red pairs well with pasta in tomato-based sauces, pizza, and grilled sausages. It also complements roasted meats, eggplant dishes, and semi-aged cheeses. Its balance and softness make it an excellent by-the-glass option for Italian-focused wine programs.
