Montepulciano is one of the main italian denominations, and most of all it shows a very high versatility.

Our version wishes to underline one of the main qualities of these grapes: the ability to obtain extremely pleasant wines, with an authentic personality. Its pleasntness derives from the fruit notes and the clean finish, the excellent balance among tannins, structure, and acidity; its authenticy, instead, appears through the great ability of these grapes to always show the best quality and recognisability even in the most difficult vintanges. Montipagano is the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC organic Umani Ronchi
