Description

Still red Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC Riserva, 15% ABV, produced by Masciarelli. 0.75 L bottle, 2020 vintage. A wine born from the passion of Gianni Masciarelli, a symbol of Abruzzo winemaking. Macerated roses and lavender intertwine with black cherries in alcohol, blackcurrant, sour cherry compote, mulberries and blackberries, laurel and juniper, balsamic and vanilla notes, hints of tobacco, cedarwood, fur, rhubarb, and licorice root. A dense purple coat. The palate is slightly more severe, surprising with a magnificent paso doble of vigor and freshness, fading slowly into spicy berries dusted with graphite.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1981
  • Oenologist: Attilio Alfino
  • Bottles produced: 2.300.000
  • Hectares: 300
Masciarelli Tenute Agricole was established in 1981 from the entrepreneurial intuition of Gianni Masciarelli, a symbol of Italian wine and protagonist of the success of modern wine production in Abruzzo. The beating heart of the winery is in San Martino sulla Marrucina, in the province of Chieti, and includes vineyards and olive groves, in all 4 provinces of Abruzzo.

Wine production – while also having a small production of extra virgin olive oil – now has 22 labels and seven product lines: Classic Line, Gianni Masciarelli, Villa Gemma, Marina Cvetic and Castello di Semivicoli. Villa Gemma, Iskra, Marina Cvetic, Castello di Semivicoli, Gianni Masciarelli, Linea Classica e La Botte di Gianni.

In the constant and renewed work for innovation, but with respect for the environment and tradition, Masciarelli inaugurated, after a long restoration, Castello di Semivicoli, a seventeenth-century baronial mansion, which is now a Relais de Charme in the vineyards, a driving force of wine tourism in the area.
