Table 23

MONTEPULCIANOD’ABRUZZODOP RISERVA The patches of old vine Montepulciano that source Caroso are interspersed with olive groves, gardens, and wildflowers. They rest on steep hillsides at more than 1,100 feet of elevationwithin viewof the sea. Here, in the hillside communities of Paglieta and Pollutri, the vines are cared for by hand. In the winery, vinification is executed slowly and with precision. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel. The wine is then transferred to French oak for the malolactic conversion and 24 months’ aging. An additional 12 months refinement in bottle ensue before the wine is ready for release.
