Cantina Mazzarosa was founded in 1863 during the creation of the Kingdom of Italy, thanks to Senator Giuseppe Devincenzi, an innovator and a visionary. Now in its 6th generation. This incredibly approachable Montepulciano is Rated 91 points by James Suckling. Intense ruby red color, tending to purple, with  flavors of ripe red fruits dominate: black cherry, plum, blue raspberry and berries, combined with spicy notes of black pepper and white pepper. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Mazzarosa is produced in Casal Thaulero near Roseto degli Abruzzi.
With south-southwest exposure, the vines are relieved on gentle hill slopes and on clayey soils. After harvesting in the second or third week of October, the wine is de-stemmed and fermented to face a 2-year steel ageing, and 6 months in the bottle.
Beautiful intense ruby red with violet reflections, it opens on the nose with full and fruity hints of black cherry, cassis, accompanied by a slight spiciness. The red fruits and a light toasting return to the palate for a wine of great freshness, with a non-aggressive tannin that guarantees a soft and long-lasting sip.
Perfect to serve with vegetable soup, fresh pasta with meat sauces, red meat.
It can be paired with all meats ,poultry, pork, beef, game, and cheeses. Serve 16-18 °C.
