Wine Profile
Wine Profile / Tasting Notes
The certified Biodynamic wine (DEMETER) displays an intense ruby red color with violet reflections, showcasing its vibrant and youthful character. The bouquet is rich and fruity, dominated by aromas of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. There are also subtle hints of peppery spice that add complexity to the aroma profile.
On the palate, this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is mid-weight and well-balanced. It features bright red fruit flavors that mirror the nose, accompanied by lightly peppery spice. The wine is built around its acidity, which provides freshness and structure. The tannins are fine-grained, contributing to a smooth and pleasant mouthfeel.
It is vinified in stainless steel to preserve its bright fruit flavors and maintain its freshness.
Vineyard Notes
Soil type: medium weight mixture soil. Altitude: 260 meters above sea level.
Production Notes
6 months fermentation and ageing prior to bottling, then another 3 in bottle to rest.
Winemaker Notes
Villa Barcaroli is located in the heart of a production area that has been focused on vine growing for a very long time with special attention to native varietals of the area such as Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Trebbiano.
Food & Wine Pairing
Montepulciano goes extremely well with meaty pizzas and fatty beef burgers. Other meats that fare well with this wine include roast pork, beef brisket, and shepherds pie.
More Information
Dating to the 17th century, the villa has been owned for over fifty years by the Bartolomei family, who have preserved the villa and its vineyards, as well as a cellar of great Montepulciano d’Abruzzo dating back to 1954.
