Il Conte Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

The brother-sister team of Carlo and Annalisa Botter are third generation winemakers in the Vento region of Italy. Their great-grandfather, Carlo Botter, began farming in the Veneto in the first part of the twentieth century and began exporting his wine outside of Italy in the 1960's. His three sons expanded their vineyard holdings to include sites in Friuli, Abuzzi, and even Sicily.

This Montepulciano is a delicious, spicy, fleshy, everyday red, a perfect match for pizza, pastas and other classic Italian fare. It is aged predominantly in tank, with a small percent of barrel to add complexity.
