RED WINE

Background

The Montepulciano is, without any doubt, the most cultivated varietal in the Abruzzo region, the part of Italy where you can find the beautiful Adriatic sea shores, the wonderful hills of its central part and the lovely mountains of the famous Parco Nazionale degli Abruzzi with the Gran Sasso d'Italia (a 6.000 feet high mountain). "Monti" Estate, with its 50 year old vineyard of Montepulciano grapes, reflects and is the testimonial of the authenticity and sincere characteristics of the people living in this region.

Description

The love for the wine produced in the Veneto region is the reason why the Montresor Family decided to expand also outside, to one of the most popular regions in Italy: Abruzzo. The Montresor Family carries out this adventure keeping the same imprint of the Montresor brand, of Montresor tradition of the production of their wines. The Estate "Monti Guidi del Carmine" is located on the hills that encircle the old city of Chieti, in the heart of the Abruzzo region: 30 hectares of vines, for the production of Montepulciano, Pecorino and Passerina wines.
