La Valentina Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Bellovedere Riserva 2020

Still organic red wine, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC, 15% ABV, produced by La Valentina in the municipality of Spoltore, near Pescara. Vintage 2020. A Montepulciano Riserva that best expresses the character of the grape variety and the Abruzzo terroir. Maceration and fermentation for approximately 30 days in open-topped Slavonian oak truncated-cone vats. Aged partly in barriques, partly in tonneaux, and partly in the same fermentation vats for approximately 18 months. Racking and bottling during the most favorable lunar phase, without filtration, a year before release. The bouquet highlights aromas and flavors of dark plum, blackberry nectar, and aromatic herbs, enriched with notes of coffee and cocoa. Dark ruby color with hints of purple ink. Its majestic character explodes on the palate, dense yet fresh, characterized by noble and powerful tannins and a hint of violet. The finish is long and clean with a hint of minerality that enhances its characteristics of liveliness, power and cleanliness.
