2022 Delacorte Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Located in the foothills of the Majella mountains facing the Adriatic coast, this is a winery where tradition is combined with progressive methods to produce excellent wines with an authentic heart. Not an organic winery per se, but one that works to promote ethics and sustainability in the vineyard, with parts of the vineyard already converted to organic production. The vineyards are planted on centuries-old mountainside vineyards, at elevations of 2,300-2,625 feet and farmed sustainably. Only native varietals are grown. The wines are fermented in in stainless steel tanks. Winemaker Gianni Pasquale was born and raised in Abruzzo and wine was always his passion.

intense ruby-red color and purple reflections. A fragrant nose of violets and black cherries. Prunes, plums, dark cherries and a dry spice finish to act as a balance.
