Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (not to be confused with the similarly-named Vino Nobile di Montepulciano) is one of central Italy's great red wines. Sourced from the mountainous namesake region of Abruzzo, the grape produces distinctively aromatic, structured reds that pair beautifully with the area's food.
Fratelli Barba is owned by the three Barba brothers: Giovanni, Domenico, and Vicenzo, whose family history can be traced back over 600 years to their move to Abruzzo from Naples. Their Montepulciano d'Abruzzo comes from an organically-farmed 10 hectare vineyard in the heart of the Colline Teramane DOCG. Hand harvesting, careful fruit handling, spontaneous fermentation, and extended lees contact combine to give this wine great complexity.
