Simple, light, fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity. Understated aromas of southern red fruits. Discrete rustic profile. Nearly gone from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE varietal collections; it reflects the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the southern vineyard. A rare French black grape, once grown in the South.

The wine region of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Italian star of accessible, structured reds (no link to the Tuscan town). Montepulciano grape (min. 85%): deep robe, intense aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, sweet spices and balsamic notes, round tannins and a juicy finish. Direct, fruity everyday style, or denser Riserva aged in barrel for cellaring.
The wine region of Abruzzo
Accessible, identity-driven Italian duo. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo as red: deep colour, intense aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, sweet spices and balsamic notes, round tannins and a gourmet finish, from everyday to age-worthy Riserva. Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOCG as a fleshy, fruity rosé (strawberry, pomegranate). Trebbiano d'Abruzzo as a straight white with citrus and white flowers, sublimated by a few cult producers (Valentini).
The word of the wine: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
