Fantini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC
100% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Ruby red with garnet reflections, Fantini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC’s bouquet is fruity and quite persistent, reminiscent of red fruits, marasca cherries and plums with vanilla nuances; full-bodied, with good balance and firm tannins, flavorful and long on the palate, immediately appealing and versatile.
“The goal of the winery is to produce wines of excellent value and quality that can be enjoyed by all wine aficionados.”
