Cantina Sangro Terra Regia Montepulciano D’Abruzzo Riserva DOC

Name: Cantina Sangro Terra Regia Montepulciano D'Abruzzo Riserva DOC - Vinumlector
SKU: IT0624

The Sangro winery was founded in 1971 by 110 members to transform the precious grapes of local winemakers into something big as a cooperatve.

The Sangro river is one of the most important waterways on the Adriatc side of the Apennines. Its wide valley, near the mouth, has always been a fertle agricultural area, crossed in the past centuries by focks in seasonal transhumance between the mountains and the Tavoliere delle Puglia.

The Sangro wine is born in the heart of central Abruzzo, between the Maiella Mountain, the sunny hills and the Trabocchi Coast. It is expression of a natural vocaton of the territory, nourished by traditons, experiences and passions that have been handed down for generatons.

The vines of the Terra Regia line are part of the “Quality Vineyards” project and the harvest includes a careful selection of the best grapes. This Montepulciano comes from the municipality of Fossacesia and neighboring areas, from the most suitable hills facing south, south-east, and a height that goes from 50 to 200 mt. above sea level.

Very intense ruby red color, with garnet reflections due to the evolution of the wine.
