Rocco Pasetti's superbly sited 30 hectare estate lies in the heart of the Collecorvino district in the hills northwest of Pescara, recognised as one of the best vineyard zones in Abruzzo. The cellar was completed in 2004 - carved into the hillside. The Contesa wines are impeccably made expressions of Abruzzo's local grapes - modern and easy to drink, yet wines of real substance.
Contesa Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine has vibrant aromas of ripe black fruit, backed by toasty notes and hints of dark chocolate and spicy oak. The palate is rich and generous with abundant bramble and black cherry fruit, and structured tannins are balanced by fresh acidity to give an elegant finish. A fantastic montepulciano, great paired with roasted or grilled meats.
Please note: All case wine orders can take between 7-10 days for delivery.
