The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo "Le Terre dell'Abate" is a dry red wine, produced in the Abruzzo region of east-central Italy, that showcases deep reddish-purple hues and a subtle nose with clear aromas of coffee and dark chocolate. It is known for its medium body, silky tannins, and fresh, fruity finish. This wine, made by the Zaccagnini winery, is a prime example of traditional winemaking blending with modern techniques to create a stunning result. With aging, the intense ruby red colour shifts to a captivating garnet red. On the palate, the wine is notable for its robust, warm, and balanced flavour, alongside a well-integrated tannic structure that promises longevity. The persistent finish leaves a pleasant spicy aftertaste. To enhance all its qualities, it is recommended to serve this wine at a temperature of 18°C.
