Pasqua Montepulciano D'Abbruzzo 2024

A wonderfully approachable Italian red with plenty of juicy fruit, savoury character and a touch of rustic charm. The Pasqua Montepulciano d'Abruzzo opens with ripe morello cherries, blackberries and dark plums, complemented by hints of liquorice and gentle spice. The mid-palate is generous and rounded, with dark berry flavours, earthy undertones and a touch of cinnamon. Well-structured tannins and refreshing acidity lead to a satisfying, slightly savoury finish.

An excellent everyday Italian red that's particularly enjoyable around the dinner table.

Winemaking

Produced from 100% Montepulciano grapes grown in Abruzzo, where the nearby Adriatic Sea and surrounding mountains influence the growing conditions. The wine undergoes fermentation with skin contact, followed by malolactic fermentation and maturation in stainless steel tanks before bottling.

Food Match

Spaghetti Bolognese, wood-fired pizza with Italian sausage and mushrooms, slow-cooked lamb ragu, grilled red meats or aged Pecorino cheese.
