Vintage Report

2022 was een uitdagend maar over het algemeen goed oogstjaar in Abruzzo. Ondanks de droge en hete zomer, slaagden veel producenten erin om wijnen met een goede concentratie en rijpe tannines te produceren.

Casale Vecchio is the Italian term for an old house. This wonderful wine is so named because it comes from the region where Farnese began producing wine in the 16th century: Abruzzo. Abruzzo's specialty is the Montepulciano grape. This grape is known for its slightly bitter, almost austere red wine with a broad bouquet of black fruit. In Abruzzo, the climate, thanks to the proximity of the Adriatic coast, is perfect for this grape. Farnese's Montepulciano grapes are grown in the most beautiful locations in Abruzzo, perfectly oriented towards both the sun and the sea. Casale Vecchio Montepulciano Farnese is a testament to the expertise of the winemakers at Farnese.

What does this Italian red wine taste like?

Open a bottle of Casale Vecchio Montepulciano Farnese. If you weren't already a Montepulciano fan, this Italian red wine from Farnese will definitely win you over. The aroma is intense and promising. Fruits like wild berries and plums tickle your nose. Smell again, and you'll discover more. You can keep sniffing this glass. Nuts, spices, licorice, and even a floral note. What pleasant surprises! The taste is overwhelming and unique. Although this Italian red wine has plenty of body, the tannins are soft and rounded. The finish is rich, thanks in part to the six months of oak aging. Complex flavors complete the palate: wild berries, nuts, and various spices. But also a hint of vegetal. A superb wine from the Farnese winery. Not an everyday glass of wine, but definitely one worth trying!

Casale Vecchio Montepulciano and food

This Farnese red wine is also definitely worth pairing with delicious dishes. Think red meat with truffle sauce, hearty pasta dishes with mushrooms, or roasted vegetables from the BBQ. A lovely platter with a variety of Italian ham and salami, an olive, and sun-dried tomatoes is also highly recommended. All that's left to do now is order this delicious red wine and stock up on groceries for an unforgettable evening!
