Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC 'Malandrino' Cataldi Madonna 2020

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC Malandrino is a red wine made by the Cataldi Madonna winery. The label is obtained from the vinification of only grapes of the native Montepulciano variety. Near the towns of Macerone and Collelungo there are vines that reach fifty years of age. The plots are located between 300 and 450 meters above sea level, where the microclimate and sun exposure are ideal for ensuring luxuriant growth of the plants. Once the ideal degree of ripeness has been reached, the bunches are carefully selected by hand. Upon arrival in the cellar, the grapes are destemmed and then placed in steel tanks for spontaneous fermentation, which includes maceration on the skins for about three weeks. The refinement involves a one-year rest, which takes place both in steel vats and in concrete tanks. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC Malandrino is perfect immediately, but is able to give pleasant sensations even after 3 or 4 years of rest.
