2018 San Lorenzo Montepulciano d’Abruzzo – Italian zest for life in a glass
The Montepulciano d’Abruzzo from San Lorenzo is a wonderful example of central Italian craftsmanship. From the 2018 vintage, this wine has spent the necessary time in the cellar to exchange its youthful impetuosity for harmonious maturity and depth. An authentic red wine that brings the sun of Abruzzo directly to your home.
Character & Origin
The Abruzzo region, situated between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea, offers ideal conditions for the Montepulciano grape. San Lorenzo understands how to maintain the balance between intense fruit and a soft structure, making this wine a real crowd-pleaser.
The Taste Profile:
Aroma: The nose reveals ripe notes of dark cherries, forest berries, and a subtle nuance of dried herbs and delicate spice.
Palate: Juicy and full-bodied. The tannins are wonderfully rounded and soft due to the almost eight years of aging. A mild acidity provides structure and drinkability.
Colour: A deep ruby red with garnet reflections.
A wine for convivial moments:
This Montepulciano is the born companion for classic Italian cuisine:
Pasta & Pizza: Excellent with lasagna, pasta bolognese, or a spicy pizza.
Meat: Ideal with grilled lamb, pork roast, or hearty meatballs in tomato sauce.
Cheese: A delight with medium-aged Pecorino or Provolone.
