Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Wine · PDO · 189 municipalities

Established in 1973, the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC mandates that its red wines contain at least 85% Montepulciano grapes, sourced from 189 municipalities including Acciano and Alanno. To distinguish the standard bottling from its premium sub-zones, Article 7 of the product specification strictly bans the use of qualifiers like "riserva," "superiore," "scelto," "fine," or "selezionato" on the base DOC label. This base wine must reach a minimum alcohol level of 12.0% vol and a maximum yield of 15.0 tons per hectare, delivering an intense ruby-red profile with light violet hints that shifts toward garnet during aging.
