    Castello di Septe Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2023

    Nestled in the rugged hills of Abruzzo, where the Apennine mountains meet the Adriatic coast, Castello di Septe crafts wines that speak directly of their land. The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is the estate's flagship expression — a wine of remarkable depth and character from one of Italy's most food-friendly indigenous grapes. The 2023 vintage benefited from a warm, dry growing season with cool mountain nights, producing fruit of exceptional concentration and natural balance.

    Tasting Notes:

    • Appearance: Deep ruby-garnet with violet reflections and excellent density
    • Nose: Generous aromas of ripe black cherry, wild blackberry, and plum, layered with violet, dried herbs, leather, and a touch of dark chocolate
    • Palate: Medium to full-bodied with supple, well-integrated tannins and lively acidity. Flavors of dark fruit, licorice, earthy spice, and a subtle savory minerality
    • Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of black fruit, cocoa, and a characteristic rustic elegance

    Terroir & Winemaking:

    Sourced from hillside vineyards in the Chieti province of Abruzzo, where clay and limestone soils impart structure and mineral complexity. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in large oak casks to soften the tannins while preserving the grape's vibrant fruit and regional identity.

    Drinking Window: Enjoy now through 2030. Decant for 20–30 minutes. Serve at 62–65°F.

    Perfect Pairings: Lamb ragù, grilled sausages, arrosticini (Abruzzese lamb skewers), aged pecorino, or hearty pasta dishes with rich meat sauces.

    Honest, generous, and deeply rooted in place — a quintessential expression of Abruzzo's winemaking soul.
