Vinification of the Valle Maris Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC from Torre Zambra

The vinification of the Valle Maris Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC begins with the careful cultivation of the Montepulciano grapes, which thrive in the sunny locations of Abruzzo. The grapes grow on calcareous soils that impart their typical aromas to the wines. After achieving full ripeness, the harvest is done by hand to select the best fruits. This care continues into the vinification process. The grapes are gently pressed and ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This technique helps retain the fruity aromas optimally. The wine then matures for several months in French oak barrels, which add additional complexity and depth. The aging in wooden casks brings out fine vanilla notes and a subtle smoky flavor, rounding out the taste profile.
