Rustic estate-grown Montepulciano with savory old-world charm

This classic Italian red offers an expressive nose of dark cherry, damp earth, and cracked black pepper. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and balanced with chewy tannins and a rustic finish of tart blackberry and cocoa.

The story behind it

The maker

Podere Castorani was revitalized in 1999 by a group of partners including famous Formula 1 driver Jarno Trulli. Their vision was to restore the ancient estate to its former glory by merging traditional Abruzzese winemaking techniques with modern organic practices.

How it is made

Crafted by the historic Podere Castorani winery & vineyard, which dates back to 1793 in the rolling hills of Alanno. The estate utilizes traditional double trellis vine training and maintains a deep respect for the clay-limestone soils of the Abruzzo region.
