Vigna Corvino Montepulciano d'Abruzzo - Rocco Pasetti has made an outstanding full-bodied smooth Montepulciano. It is deeply coloured with aromas of violets and ripe red fruit and a warm, generous palate showing concentrated black cherry fruit, gentle tannins and good length.
Rocco Pasetti's superbly sited 25 hectare estate lies in the heart of the Collecorvino district in the hills northwest of Pescara, recognised as one of the best vineyard zones in Abruzzo. This wine is impeccably made, with rich fruit and warm and generous flavours.
This wine is only produced in tiny quantities from selected parcels of the best grapes on the estate. It is matured in oak barrels for 6 to 8 months and a further 4 months in bottle before release.
A proven match for good quality pork and leek sausages, onion gravy made with some of the wine and balsamic vinegar and spinach mash made with Greek olive oil!
