Caduto dalle Nuvole
Abruzzo DOC, Italy
This beautiful Montepulciano is from the hillsides of Abruzzo in Eastern Italy
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Caduto dalle Nuvole
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Abruzzo is a hop, skip, and a jump from Rome in Central Italy. The region is made up of 2 distinctly different types of growing lands - hillsides with a moderate continental climate and flatter valleys near the Adriatic Sea that are subject to warmer Mediterranean coastal influences. The grapes for this Montepulciano are from the hillier areas where vineyards receive cooling influences from the nearby mountains. This influence creates a longer ripening season which allows fruit to develop beautifully concentrated flavors and aromas. Deep berry notes meld with dusty tannins and perfumey florals. This wine is perfect to pair with dishes that have depth.

WINE REGION:
Abruzzo DOC
The mountainous region of Abruzzo on Italy's Adriatic coast is known for one wine above all others: the deliciously food-friendly Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. Loved for its deep ruby color, soft tannins and plummy-cherry juiciness, this classic Italian red boasts a subtly smoky finish that makes it loved worldwide. Its easygoing quality is thanks to Abruzzo's ideal conditions for growing grapes. Vines spread from coastal plains to mountain slopes, enjoying a warm climate and wide variation between day and night temperatures, which help fruit ripen with excellent balance and potential. Fans of white wine will enjoy Trebbiano d'Abruzzo. This wine is light and refreshing, with plenty of crisp acidity and subtle citrus notes. The DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) designation for Italian wines was introduced in the 1960s. It is the main classification system used in the country and regulates what winemakers can and cannot do regarding wine style, varietal restrictions, minimum and maximum alcohol levels, aging techniques and growing regions.
