Vintage Report
2018 was een evenwichtig oogstjaar voor Abruzzo, gekenmerkt door gunstige weersomstandigheden die resulteerden in wijnen met een goede frisheid en fruitigheid. Hoewel niet uitzonderlijk, produceerde het jaar kwaliteitswijnen met een mooie balans.
The San Zopito Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2018 is a refined red wine from the Torre Raone winery. Made from 100% Montepulciano grapes, this wine brings to life the rich tradition and unique terroir of the Abruzzo region. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 350 meters and are organically certified, contributing to the purity and complexity of this exceptional wine.
Tasting notes
The 2018 San Zopito has a deep ruby red color with purple highlights. The nose reveals intense aromas of ripe red fruit like cherries and blackberries, complemented by floral nuances of violets and subtle earthy notes. The palate is full and warm, with soft tannins and a perfect balance of fruitiness and acidity. The long, harmonious finish makes every sip a true experience.Vinification and Maturation
This wine is produced with meticulous attention to detail. The grapes are harvested by hand in October and undergo a long maceration period of 30 to 40 days with the skins. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, which adds complexity and a subtle oak influence.Perfect Combinations
The 2018 San Zopito Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is an ideal accompaniment to grilled red meats such as steak and lamb chops. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and traditional Abruzzo dishes such as arrosticini (grilled lamb skewers). This wine adds a touch of elegance to any meal.Storage potential and serving tips
This Montepulciano is ready to drink, but also has the potential to develop further with bottle aging for 5 to 7 years. Serve the wine at a temperature of 16-18°C to fully appreciate its aromas and flavors. Experience the authenticity of Abruzzo with the San Zopito Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2018. This organic wine reflects the craftsmanship and passion of Torre Raone.Product details
