Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC – Bellaretta

Product Info

Montepulciano is the signature red grape of Abruzzo, a beautiful region of central Italy stretching from the Apennine Mountains to the Adriatic Sea. The warm Mediterranean climate, mountain influences and cooling coastal breezes create ideal conditions for producing wines that are rich in fruit while retaining freshness.

Cantina Tollo’s Bella Retta Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC is a classic, fruit-forward expression of the region. Expect generous dark berry and plum flavours, with a gentle savoury character, soft tannins and a lovely freshness that makes the wine particularly easy to enjoy with food.

It is the kind of Italian red that doesn't need a special occasion. Open it with pizza, pasta, antipasti, grilled meats or a relaxed dinner with friends. It is generous enough to have plenty of flavour, but fresh and approachable enough to keep you reaching for another glass.
