2023 Contesa Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a rich and expressive red from Abruzzo, Italy, crafted by the family-run Contesa estate. The region’s unique geography—between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea—creates ideal conditions for the Montepulciano grape, producing wines with generous fruit and balanced structure.
The 2023 vintage reveals aromas of black cherry, ripe plum and blackberry, layered with notes of violet, liquorice and gentle spice. On the palate, juicy dark fruit is supported by soft tannins and balanced acidity, with hints of cocoa and savoury herbs adding depth. The texture is smooth and approachable, finishing fresh and rounded.
