Casale Vecchio Montepulciano Farnese

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.
