Pietrame Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Limited Edition 2022

Pietrame Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Limited Edition 2022 originates from Italy, specifically from the Abruzzo region. This wine is produced by Cantina Tollo, one of the foremost cooperatives in Italy, representing over 1,000 growers and managing approximately 3,000 hectares of vineyards. The 'Pietrame' brand is inspired by the traditional old stone buildings ('pietra' meaning stone) that dot the landscape between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine Mountains. The winemaking philosophy focuses on typical and native vines of the area, traditionally cultivated with pergolas to накопление aromatic substances.

Wine Description

This wine exhibits a ruby red colour with brilliant violet reflections. The sensory profile features floral aromas of violets, wild cherries, and woodland berries, complemented by notes of spice, cocoa, and sweet sage. On the palate, it is round and cool-toned, offering flavours of fresh blackberry, plum sauce, and dark cherry, alongside subtle hints of citrus and chalk dust. The body is full and well-structured, showing both elegance and balance with gentle, integrated tannins and vibrant acidity. Composed of 100% estate Montepulciano grapes, the wine is harvested in early October and refined in stainless steel vats for up to twelve months to preserve its fresh, aromatic intensity. It possesses an ABV of 13% and is produced following organic and sustainable practices.

Food Pairing

The structured tannins and bright character of this Montepulciano make it an excellent match for grilled Italian sausages with peppers or meat-lover's pizza. It also pairs well with hearty dishes such as eggplant parmigiana, rich meaty lasagne, or baked pasta (pasta al forno). Additional suggested pairings include roasted or grilled meats and semi-mature cheeses.
