Vigneti Del Sole Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2023

Tasting Notes

A deep ruby-garnet hue invites you in. On the nose: bright cherry and fresh strawberry, layered with sweet spice and a whisper of plum. The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, soft tannins, and a clean finish that leaves you reaching for the next sip. This wine is lively, juicy and straightforward in the best way—delightfully drinkable.

Why It’s Special

• This is superb value: serious regional Italian red wine character without the luxury markup.

• The fruit comes from the Abruzzo region, from vines planted on calcareous-clay soils, vinified and aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness and purity of the varietal.

• It hits exactly the sweet spot for your boutique clientele: rich in flavour, easy to pair, under-$15 tier, and yet much more interesting than a standard “house red.”

• Especially food-friendly: the vibrant acidity and fruit make it ideal for pizza nights, red-sauce pastas, grilled sausages or even a casual weekday roast.
