Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"Amaranta Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is a cru wine obtained from Abruzzo’ s most important red grape, the Montepulciano. This wine represents our commitment to making the utmost of the spectacular terroirs and microclimates that Abruzzo region offers."
NZIWS Judges Comments (2019 Vintage)
"Wonderfully concentrated on the nose with a potpourri of aromas – think plum jam, dark smoky oak and saddle leather. It is inky and opulent with succulent dark fruit, an inviting savouriness, hints of dark orange chocolate and espresso with supple tannins and a long, lifted finish."
