Territory and wine style

The production takes place in the Pescosansonesco area, in the province of Pescara, at about 550 meters above sea level, at the foot of the Gran Sasso d’Italia. It is a ventilated area, characterized by strong temperature fluctuations and clay-limestone soils rich in skeleton and rocky components. This context contributes to giving the wine tension, structure, and aromatic definition, enhancing the character of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC with a concentrated reading and long persistence.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a deep, dense, and consistent ruby red color. The olfactory profile is intense and complex, with hints of ripe cherry, plum, berries, sour cherry, and floral notes of violet and withered red flowers. With oxygenation, evolved nuances of sweet spices, tobacco, leather, licorice, cocoa, and coffee emerge, combined with touches of dried fruit. On the palate, it is warm, full, and enveloping, with good freshness, elegant and mature tannins, great substance, and a long, persistent finish. The sip is robust, fleshy, and well-balanced, with a clear and convincing evolutionary imprint.

Recommended pairings

This Italian red wine pairs well with structured and flavorful dishes, such as braised meats, roasts, game, grilled red meats, and very aged cheeses. Its richness also makes it suitable for long-cooked preparations and recipes with strong flavors, while the complex aromatic profile can coherently accompany a post-dinner tasting moment, perhaps alongside dark chocolate.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate Harimann Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC 2010, a serving temperature of 18 °C is recommended. Given its structure and evolution, it is advisable to open the bottle a few hours in advance and, if possible, proceed with a light oxygenation in a decanter to encourage the bouquet's opening.
