Montepulciano is one of Italy's most widely planted grape varieties. A fabulous red ruby color with garnet highlights, this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is intense and persistent, with spicy aromas and hints of chocolate and tar.

Montepulciano is one of Italy's most widely planted grape varieties. A fabulous red ruby color with garnet highlights, this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is intense and persistent, with spicy aromas and hints of chocolate and tar. The dominant flavour, however, on both the nose and palate, is fruit. This wine boasts good structure, tannins and a reassuring balance.
During the first few days, fermentation takes place at a low temperature, allowing a good extraction of polyphenols, responsible for the red colour of the wine. The wine subsequently undergoes malolactic fermentation, before a period of refinement in American wood barriques lasting about 6 months (60% French oak - 40% American oak barrique).
Best served with rich main courses such as roasted or stewed meats and typical Abruzzese salami. (/p>
The Caldora winery was born with quality in mind, as the ‘Progetto Qualita’ (quality project) of the cooperative Cantina Sociale di Ortona. Based in the Chieti province of Abruzzo, the larger cooperative has been working for many years, producing wines from over 1500 hectares of land cultivated by around 700 farmers. Continually striving to reduce their yield per hectare, thereby increasing the quality and concentration of each grape that enters the winery, the Progetto was established in 1999 to celebrate approximately 200 hectares of vineyard area, selected from a variety of the highest-quality terroirs, which provided fruit that consistently passes the most rigorous of quality checks.
