Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Panarda DOC 2015 - Frentana

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Panarda  DOC by Frentana embodies the essence of the Abruzzo region, particularly the area of Rocca San Giovanni. Produced by Cantina Frentana, a cooperative of about 500 winemakers, this wine is the result of quality viticulture that extends between the slopes of the Majella and the marvelous Costa dei Trabocchi. Aging in oak barriques adds olfactory and taste complexity that makes it unique. On the nose, aromas of Earl Grey, cinnamon, and forest fruits are perceived, while layers of plum, bitter sloe, porcini, and truffle emerge on the palate. This wine is ideal for special occasions, perhaps paired with red meat dishes or aged cheeses.
