Cantina Cantinarte Navelli L'Aquila

From an almost impenetrable ruby colour, which reveals only a violet nail, a very intense nose opens up, registering clear mineral notes of graphite and dark fruit, primarily blackberry, and drawing slightly balsamic nuances on the background. The taste attack is always very soft and enveloping, also thanks to the sweetness of the tannins. The typical acidic vein of these grapes, which gives a pleasant sense of freshness, provides the wine with a tasting dynamism that enhances its structure and depth. In the long finish, the aromas of ripe fruit from the bouquet return.

Production approx. 80 quintals per hectare
Area Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, on the hilly area of Bucchianico (CH)
Vineyards Montepulciano d'Abruzzo of 35 years respecting the biodiversity of the territory and following the agronomic practices of organic farming.
Vinification The grapes, upon arrival at the winery, are destemmed and pressed. The must ferments in contact with the skins, first for 4 days at a temperature of 12 °C, then for another 20 days at a temperature of 28 °C. The wine is then transferred to French oak barrels where it ages for 18 months. At the end of this period, the wine is reassembled in stainless steel tanks and subsequently bottled.
Aging 6 months

"Produced from Montepulciano grapes grown organically, this rosé offers a scent of soft strawberry, with hints of chopped herbs and a background of stone fruit. On the palate, it is soft and rounded in texture, with integrated acidity and gentle tannins that frame the fruit flavours." 13% vol

"Located in Bucchianico, in Abruzzo, it is a recently established farm owned by the DiNisio family that produces wine, olive oil, and saffron. It was founded in 2008 by Francesca DiNisio, driven by her desire to follow in her maternal grandmother's footsteps. Here, vineyards and olive groves nestle among wheat fields, and the grapes are cultivated according to organic criteria. Only a few thousand bottles of wine and oil are produced each year. Made from grapes grown at 700 metres above sea level. Francesca says "it's the altitude that makes the difference." The wine is fresh with pronounced mineral notes and great acidity." 13.5% vol
