Rubesto riserva montepulciano d’abruzzo
The grapes for this Riserva are harvested exclusively from select, steeply angled vineyards with excellent drainage and pebble soils. The must is fermented with the skins for 10-15 days, then aged in a combination of barrique and large oak barrels for 12 months, before bottle-aging for another six months.
A generous Montepulciano enhanced by its time under oak, this red displays focused black and red berry notes, bolstered by rounded tannins that weave through hints of anise and chanterelle.
