Wine maker notes Granted DOCG status in 2003, the Montepulciano d217;Abruzzo Colline Teramane appellation comprises the hills around the province of Teramo, an area esteemed for wines that show concentration and intensity of fruit. Although the appellation allows for some Sangiovese in the wine, this wine is made from 100% Montepulciano sourced entirely from the Pignotto vineyard, which is named after a hill in the oldest section of the Monti family estate vineyards.
Producer Monti is a small, family-owned estate founded in 1969 by brothers Antonio and Elio, who operated the winery together until Elio passed away in 2002. Antonio and Elio were always traditionalists in the production of the grape, utilizing the estate’s 30 acres under vine to the fullest. Now acclaimed Italian winemaker Riccardo Cotarella helps produce their two exceptional wines from Abruzzo’s noble varietal, Montepulciano.
