Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC Reserve 'Villa Gemma' Masciarelli 2017

The Riserva Villa Gemma Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC is a wine that is born in the Masciarelli cellar of San Martino sulla Marrucina. Passion and love for the land distinguish this company which has become one of the symbols of Abruzzo viticulture. The grapes come from the Montepulciano vines, grown on soils rich in limestone and clay at 400 meters above sea level facing east and favored by the mild climate of the area. The training system adopted is Guyot. After the manual harvest and the selection of the best grapes, we proceed with the fermentation in steel vats with maceration on the skins. The maturation period is 36 months, of which 24 in French oak barriques. Before being put on the market, the wine needs a further rest in the bottle for about 3 years. The Riserva Villa Gemma Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC is an elegant and intense wine, ideal for immediate tasting, but it can evolve in the cellar for several years if correctly stored.
