Gianni Masciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC

A Montepulciano that shows what Abruzzo red wine can achieve: fresh, structured and yet pleasantly uncomplicated in the glass.

Masciarelli is one of the most renowned wineries in Abruzzo. Gianni Masciarelli built the estate into one of the region's leading producers in the 1980s – today, his widow, Marina Cvetic, continues the legacy. The grapes for this wine come exclusively from the Cocciapazza vineyard, whose clay-limestone soils provide structure and aromatic depth. Aged in stainless steel tanks for twelve months, the wine retains its fruity freshness and keeps the tannins supple.

A brilliant ruby ​​red in the glass. On the nose, sour cherry and blackcurrant, with a hint of violet and tobacco. Medium-bodied on the palate, lively acidity, soft tannins – not heavy, but with real bite and a pleasantly long finish.

Serving temperature 16–18 °C. Pairs well with pasta all'Amatriciana, grilled lamb, or strong pecorino cheese. Also a reliable choice as an uncomplicated evening wine without a special occasion. Drinking window: now until 2027.
