Description

A classic expression of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, La Musa delivers rich, ripe fruit flavours balanced by soft tannins and a smooth, lingering finish. Deep ruby red in colour, this wine is bursting with juicy black cherries, plums, and hints of spice, alongside subtle notes of dark chocolate and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied with a velvety texture, it’s a fantastic everyday red that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes.

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.

Tasting Notes

Rich and fruit-forward, with aromas of black cherries, ripe plums, and hints of spice. The palate is smooth and well-rounded, offering flavours of dark berries, cocoa, and a touch of earthiness, supported by soft tannins and a lingering, elegant finish.

Pairings

A versatile and crowd-pleasing red, this Montepulciano is perfect with classic Italian dishes like pasta Bolognese, wood-fired pizza, or aubergine parmigiana. It also pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hard cheeses such as Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano.
