It presents an \u003cstrong\u003eintense ruby red colour\u003c\/strong\u003e, a prelude to a deep olfactory profile characterised by notes of ripe fruits, plum and blackcurrant, enriched by elegant spicy hints of tobacco and leather. On the palate, it offers a \u003cstrong\u003efull-bodied flavour\u003c\/strong\u003e, dry and supported by a powerful structure that finds ideal balance in a \u003cstrong\u003esoft and velvety tannin\u003c\/strong\u003e. To fully appreciate its aromatic complexity, it is recommended to decant the wine about an hour before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in the \u003cstrong\u003eestate-owned vineyards located in Controguerra\u003c\/strong\u003e, in Abruzzo. Here, the vines sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003emedium-textured soils rich in stones\u003c\/strong\u003e, which ensure optimal drainage and promote the natural aromatic concentration of the grapes. Trained using the spurred cordon method, the vines are managed with low yields to maximise the quality of the raw material. The harvest, carried out around \u003cstrong\u003emid-October\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensures full phenolic ripeness, a fundamental step in defining the complex and profound character of this robust red.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vinification process begins with \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in temperature-controlled cement tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is followed by a \u003cstrong\u003etwenty-eight day maceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential phase for optimal extraction of colour and polyphenolic substances. Subsequently, the wine matures for ten months in \u003cstrong\u003elarge barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a choice that encourages slow evolution without overpowering the primary aromas of the grape variety. This careful maturation rounds out the texture, stabilising its softness and defining the elegance that distinguishes the final sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerso Sera is born from the passion of the Velenosi winery in the vineyards of Controguerra. This \u003cstrong\u003eMontepulciano d’Abruzzo Colline Teramane DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e expresses the identity of the region with a harvest in mid-October. The \u003cstrong\u003e28-day maceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e in temperature-controlled cement tanks extracts a profound character. The 10-month ageing in 30 hl barrels gives the 2022 vintage a powerful structure, awarded \u003cstrong\u003e99 points by Luca Maroni\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Velenosi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46123905253547,"sku":"60062","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/velenosi-montepulciano-d-abruzzo-verso-sera-2022_60062_1_a8a1ea73-e391-47f9-a2c1-0137fcb6f78f.webp?v=1781277454","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/products\/velenosi-montepulciano-dabruzzo-verso-sera-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
