In the glass, it displays a \u003cstrong\u003edeep ruby red colour\u003c\/strong\u003e with bright violet highlights. The bouquet is distinctly fruity, dominated by \u003cstrong\u003enotes of blackcurrant and cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched with hints of strawberry, blueberry and plum, which fade into a subtle spicy and vanilla touch. After fermentation and maturation in stainless steel, the palate is velvety and juicy, supported by balanced savouriness and a \u003cstrong\u003esolid tannic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e that ensures a long and lively finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Montepulciano grapes cultivated by Velenosi grow in the municipality of Controguerra, on \u003cstrong\u003epredominantly clay soils\u003c\/strong\u003e. This specific soil composition encourages balanced extraction, giving the wine a robust framework. The hillside altitude of the vineyards effectively preserves the freshness and aromatic definition of the grapes. Trained using the Guyot system and a density of \u003cstrong\u003efive thousand vines per hectare\u003c\/strong\u003e, the plants ensure low yields, ideal for maximising the \u003cstrong\u003eexpressive richness\u003c\/strong\u003e and aromatic complexity of the original fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting takes place between mid-September and October. After destemming, \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e is accompanied by a maceration on the skins for about twenty days, a necessary step to extract polyphenols and colour intensity, while preserving the pure varietal character. This is followed by targeted \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, a technique adopted to enhance the smoothness and clarity of the aromas. This process defines a harmonious sip, characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003evibrant freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e and a pleasant persistence on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1984 from the passion of two young entrepreneurs, the \u003cstrong\u003eMontepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e by Velenosi embodies the authentic winemaking tradition of the municipality of Controguerra.
