History and Winemaking

Abruzzo is one of Italy’s most renowned wine regions, famous for producing bold yet approachable Montepulciano wines. Grown in the sun-drenched vineyards of central Italy, the Montepulciano grapes benefit from a perfect combination of warm Mediterranean influences and cooling mountain breezes, allowing for slow ripening and excellent flavour concentration. La Musa’s Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is crafted using traditional winemaking techniques, ensuring a wine that is both expressive and food-friendly.
