Masciarelli Montepulciano D'Abruzzo 2022

Masciarelli is such an extraordinary story because, as few producers have managed to do, they have succeeded at the very top in creating a global icon, while also creating something special for the everyday consumer, a wine so much better than it needs to be, an ambassador for the region. This wine for so many people is their introduction to the Montepulciano grape and the Abruzzo region, and the quality and care shown in producing this 100% estate but widely available wine result in an enormously positive impression.

Wine Description

The wine presents a deep ruby red colour. The aromatic profile includes notes of dark cherry fruit, blackberries, plums, pomegranates, violets, and a hint of leather, with attractive spicy and smoky undertones. On the palate, it delivers a solid core of tart wild berry fruits, with flavours of red berries, cherry, and redcurrants. Stylistically, it is a bold and structured red, impressing with its silken textures, while bright acidity and firm, fine tannins provide balance and depth. The wine finishes long, gently tannic, and relatively fresh.

Food Pairing

This wine is intended to be consumed in its youth and is a terrific complement to roasted meats, pastas and pizza, the ultimate trattoria wine.
