The best Montepulciano come from the hills around the town of Teramo in Northern Abruzzo where the grape finds outstanding growing conditions to ripe. Montepulciano 4 20 from Torri Cantine is one of them. The grapes are picked on stony-loam soil at 300 meters above sea level from a 30-year-old vineyard with optimal exposure and low yields in Controguerra, a village north of Teramo on the border with the Marche region. An ideal microclimate and an optimal diurnal temperature variation, together with organic techniques of cultivation, enhances the typical flavours of Montepulciano grapes.

The wine is made exclusively in stainless steel tanks thermo-conditioned and after the malolactic fermentation it ages in bottle for at least 6 months. Fruit driven with a lovely wild berry and violet nose which is carried through to the palate. The flavours are soft and elegant with pure fruit character and a herbaceous slightly mineral mid palate. Friendly and approachable.
