Il Feuduccio Montepulciano D’abruzzo Fonte Venna 2021 750 ML

Some six hours from Milan is one of the most beautiful, untouched landscapes you could imagine: green valleys and snow-capped mountains, with the Adriatic Sea for horizon. Here is the estate of Abruzzi-born Gaetano Lamaletto. Forty years ago and freshly married to Maria, he left his native land, staking everything he had on a South American ceramics venture that was to bear golden fruits. It would have been only natural for the Lamalettos to enjoy their hard-earned success and give Abruzzi no more than the fleeting tribute of nostalgia.nInstead, Gaetano chose to craft a range of all-Abruzzi wines in celebration of his homeland. In 1996, he secured 67 acres of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo (now expanded to 99 acres) and one of Italy’s greatest oenologists: Franco Bernabei. The entire estate, now totalling 129 acres that comprise superb olive groves, is 100% organically cultivated.nnAll phases of the preparatory work have been supervised not only by Bernabei and Gaetano, but by the latter’s eldest daughter, Laura, and manager Rocco Cipollone.nnThe sandy-clayey-silty terrain – catered to by ideal microclimate, ideal temperature range, ideal varieties, ideally trained and drained – is, in Bernabei’s words, baciato da Dio,”kissed by God”. In 2004, the range was expanded to two white blends (Yare now being flanked by Il Feuduccio Bianco) and four native Montepulciano d’Abruzzos.nnImage for Montepulciano Wine content sectionnMontepulciano Winen View all productsnMontepulciano is the second most planted red variety in Italy after Sangiovese, though it is achieves its highest potential in the region of Abruzzo. Consistently enticing and enjoyable, Montepulciano enjoys great popularity throughout central and southern Italy as well. A tiny bit grows with success in California, Argentina and Australia. Somm Secret—Montepulciano is also the name of a village in Tuscany where, confusingly, they don’t grow the Montepulciano grape at all! Sangiovese shines in yet another Tuscan village, here making the reputable wine called Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.nnImage for Abruzzo Wine Italy content sectionnAbruzzo WinenItalyn View all productsnA warm, Mediterranean vine-growing paradise, in Abruzzo, the distance from mountains to seaside is relatively short. The Apenniness, which run through the center of Italy, rise up on its western side while the Adriatic Sea defines its eastern border.nnWine composition tends to two varieties: Abruzzo’s red grape, Montepulciano and its white, Trebbiano. Montepulciano d’Abruzzo can come in a quaffable, rustic and fruity style that generally drinks best young. It is also capable of making a more serious style, where oak aging tames its purely wild fruit.nnTrebbiano in Abruzzo also comes in a couple of varieties. Trebbiano Toscana makes a simple and fruity white. However when meticulously tended, the specific Trebbiano d’Abruzzo-based white wines can be complex and long-lived.nnIn the region’s efforts to focus on better sites and lower yields, vine acreage has decreased in recent years while quality has increased.nnItems Similar to Il Feuduccio Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Fonte Venna 2021nTorre Zambra Madia Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nTorre Zambra Madia Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nMontepulciano | ItalynJS92WS91n12 99nAdd to CartnLa Valentina Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nLa Valentina Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nMontepulciano | ItalynJS91n17 99nAdd to CartnGarofoli Rosso Conero Piancarda 2019nGarofoli Rosso Conero Piancarda 2019nMontepulciano | ItalynV90n18 99nAdd to CartnCasata Parini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2022nCasata Parini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2022nMontepulciano | Italyn9 99nAdd to CartnMasciarelli Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nMasciarelli Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nMontepulciano | Italyn16n12 99nAdd to CartnFantini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2022nFantini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2022nMontepulciano | Italyn14 99nAdd to CartnVigneti del Sole Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2022nVigneti del Sole Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2022nMontepulciano | Italyn9 99nAdd to CartnCaldora Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nCaldora Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nMontepulciano | Italyn16 99nAdd to CartnI Lauri Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva Le Pinciaie 2018nI Lauri Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva Le Pinciaie 2018nMontepulciano | Italyn23 99nAdd to CartnTiberio Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nTiberio Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nMontepulciano | Italyn27 99nAdd to CartnCataldi Madonna Malandrino Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nCataldi Madonna Malandrino Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nMontepulciano | Italyn26 99nAdd to CartnCarletto Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nCarletto Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2021nMontepulciano | Italyn11 99nAdd to Cart
