No other country in the world boasts such impressive wine regions within its borders as Italy. Wherever you go in Italy, winemaking runs through your veins. From north to south, and from east to west. Even on Italy's various islands, winemaking has become part of the culture. Perhaps not as well-known as Piedmont and Veneto is Abruzzo, or as the Italians call it, D'Abruzzo. This region is located in central Italy on the Adriatic coast. Although winemaking here doesn't have a centuries-old history, the wines from Abruzzo are certainly impressive.
The vineyards of Montepulciano
This wine should not be confused with the town of Montepulciano, located in southeastern Tuscany. Montepulciano D'Abruzzo refers to the Montepulciano grape from Abruzzo. This wine is produced by Rube, a leading winery in Abruzzo that has played a significant role in local viticulture. The cultural aspect is highly valued by Rube's winemakers. They strive to produce the finest wines while maintaining traditions.
Impressions of Rube Montepulciano D'Abruzzo
This Montepulciano D'Abruzzo from the Rube winery is a true outsider. Accessible, pleasant, but without compromising on quality. That's what our vinologists call true craftsmanship. As soon as the cap is popped on this Italian red wine, the enjoyment begins immediately. You discover warm cherries and generous forest fruits. Smell this wine again, and a subtle hint of pepper unfolds. The palate is rich, smooth, and incredibly pure. The round tannins linger beautifully. The firm fruit lands wonderfully on the tongue. A truly top-notch Italian wine to enjoy daily.
