Pepe Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is made from pure grapes of the vine of the same name, from 30-year-old vines resting on clayey, medium-textured soil. In the vineyard, the dictates of organic farming are scrupulously followed, integrating them with some biodynamic practices, although the idea of grapes and healthy soil was already inherent in Emidio’s mentality. In the winery, the grapes are destemmed by hand and spontaneously fermented in vitrified cement tanks, followed by bottling and decanting by hand without filtration. The liquid ages 24 months in cement containers.

It has an intense ruby red colour with little penetration. The nose is of great complexity, capable of evolving in an impressive manner with the passage of time, so much so that if, when young, it displays hints of wine and fresh fruit, it later enriches its profile with hints of graphite, earth and undergrowth. In the mouth it is compact and austere, always driven by beautiful acidity and vital, sculpted tannins.
