Montepulciano

Montepulciano: the most authentic expression of Abruzzo in a glass

The Montepulciano collection from Italian Wine Selection gathers some of the most interesting interpretations of this great Italian red wine, with a particular focus on Abruzzo and its most representative denominations. Here, Montepulciano is presented in different versions, from the everyday and immediate profile to reserve selections and more sought-after labels, offering a wide and coherent overview of one of the emblematic grape varieties of Central Italy.

In the catalog, you will find labels from recognized wineries such as Emidio Pepe Azienda Agricola Biologica, Masciarelli, Ciavolich, Cataldi Madonna, Umani Ronchi, Garofoli 1901, and Villamedoro, just to name a few. The presence of denominations such as Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC Riserva, Colline Teramane D.O.C.G. Riserva, and Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo tells the story of a territory capable of expressing very different nuances, from the juiciest fruit to the deepest and most complex structure.

Style, territory, and characteristics

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is known for its intense color, fruity profile, and a taste structure that is soft yet firm. In the younger versions, a generous drinkability emerges, with notes of red fruits and light spices; in the reserves and vineyard selections, the wine gains greater depth, intensity, and evolutionary potential. The labels in this collection also highlight the most suitable areas of Abruzzo, such as the Colline Teramane, where Montepulciano can reach a more structured and territorial dimension.

Alongside the reds, you will also find expressions like Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo, which, despite having a different identity, brilliantly reflects the same regional winemaking tradition. This variety makes the collection interesting both for those seeking a versatile red and for those wishing to explore more sophisticated and cellar-worthy interpretations.

When to choose a Montepulciano

Montepulciano is an extremely versatile wine at the table. The more immediate versions easily accompany cured meats, pasta dishes with ragù, grilled meats, and flavorful white meats. The reserves and more complex labels express themselves best with braised dishes, roasts, game, aged cheeses, and traditional Abruzzese cuisine. The Cerasuolo, on the other hand, is an ideal choice for appetizers, fried foods, flavorful fish, and Mediterranean recipes.

  • For those looking for a daily red with character
  • For those who love Abruzzese wines and their most iconic versions
  • For those who desire reserve labels and selections of greater depth
