Fantini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC

The Fantini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is an uncomplicated red wine that shows why Abruzzo is one of the most reliable sources of everyday red wines in Italy: clear fruit, decent structure, and an easy-drinking character.

The Fantini Group is one of the largest wine producers in Abruzzo and works with Montepulciano grapes from the DOC region of the same name, located between the Apennines and the Adriatic coast. The climate—hot summers and dry autumns—gives the grape variety the necessary ripeness for rich fruit flavors combined with stable acidity.

In the glass, it displays aromas of sour cherry and plum, along with a light vanilla note suggesting brief oak aging. On the palate, it is present with firm but not harsh tannins, balanced acidity, and a medium-length, fruity-spicy finish.
