Gran Sasso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2024 Italian red wine showcases vibrant ruby-red colour, intense red berries, ripe plums, full-bodied palate with supple tannins and refreshing acidity—classic Abruzzo expression.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

A lively ruby-red colour with delicate garnet reflections catches the light, showcasing the wine's youthful vitality and authentic Abruzzo character. The brilliant transparency and medium concentration reveal an accessible yet well-structured style characteristic of this beloved Italian red.

Aroma

An expressive and enduring nose presents juicy red berries, wild fruits and succulent plums in an engaging and multi-layered aromatic display. Gentle vanilla undertones and nuanced spice notes appear, enhanced by cherry, blackberry and a touch of Mediterranean herbs that contribute complexity and elegance to this captivating Italian expression.

Palate

Generous and welcoming on the palate, this wine presents velvety tannins that offer framework without aggression. Savoury elements provide additional dimension, while bright acidity harmonises with the concentrated fruit centre of succulent plums, red berries and dark cherry. The silky mouthfeel and well-integrated components deliver outstanding drinkability, finishing with clarity and length as fruit flavours and gentle spice linger pleasantly.

Pairs With

Gran Sasso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2024 matches perfectly with Italian fare, especially pasta dressed in robust tomato sauce and lasagne where its brightness enhances the tomato's natural tang, or serve it with grilled lamb, beef ragu, pizza, mature pecorino cheese and charcuterie platters for relaxed Italian-style gatherings.
