Description
What type of wine it is
Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Incanto by Marramiero is a red wine from Abruzzo with a Denominazione di Origine Controllata status, fermented in steel, with a deep ruby colour and aromas of prunes, dates and fine spices. The palate is warm and enveloping, characterised by a structure that harmoniously balances power and elegance. Awarded 93 points by James Suckling, this wine enhances the characteristics of the Montepulciano variety, offering vigorous tannins and a pleasant fullness. To enjoy it at its best, one hour of breathing is recommended before serving.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the most suitable areas of Abruzzo, between the plots of the Tenute di Rosciano and the Tenuta Amarello in Ofena. The vineyards, trained using the espalier system, grow on deep and rich soils with a marked clay component. The particular nature of the soil helps to define the wine's structure, ensuring an intense flavour profile and a long finish on the palate, a distinctive hallmark of the most authentic regional expressions.
How it is produced
The production process involves fermentation in Ganimede fermenters and steel vats, with prolonged maceration on the skins to optimally extract colour and body. After racking, maturation takes place entirely in steel, followed by a period of rest that completes an ageing process of 30 months. This technical choice preserves the integrity of the fruit and the spicy notes, giving the wine evolved tannins and a harmonious bouquet.
