Sourced from clay-soil vineyards in Abruzzo, trained on marquee and espalier systems, the 2021 is a wine of genuine depth and roundness — aged in 50hL oak vats for at least 9 months before release. Each bottle carries the characteristic vine sprig tied by hand around the neck, a symbol of the connection between wine and territory that defines the Tralcetto line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intense purple-red with violet hues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generous and immediate — red berries and ripe cherries in spirit, with warm spice and earthy depth underlying the ripe fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round and complex, with fruit that corresponds closely to the bouquet.
