Podere Castorani - Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva 2015

With over 200 years of history Podere Castorani spreads across 75 acres of lush countryside in the province of Pescara, Italy, between Majella National Park and the Adriatic Sea. The estate’s principal grape varieties are Montepulciano d'Abruzzo in red and Trebbiano d'Abruzzo in white. The partners regularly test new grape varieties in a perpetual search for the fullest expression of the terroir. At Podere Castorani, their pursuit of excellence can only be satisfied through respect for traditional expertise.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: This wine shows spicy licorice and aromas of small forests fruits, with light notes of vanilla, chocolate and faded rose. Full and rich bodied, with silky and elegant tannins. The long finish, is intense and persistent, with notes of mature red fruits and tobacco.

This Riserva is best enjoyed with hearty, savory dishes and goes nicely alongside rich roasted vegetables and aged cheeses.

A full-bodied and well-crafted red with lots of super ripe black cherry and blackberry aromas and flavors, together with mushroom and gamy notes. Floral notes, too. Very silky on the palate, with loads of flavor and a gently persistent finish.
