Vallevo Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021

This is a wine from Vallevo, a cooperative in the Abruzzo region near Chieti, Italy. Made from 100% Montepulciano grapes, it’s their entry-level red crafted for everyday drinking with honest character. The fermentation is done in stainless steel and aged similarly in tank, aimed at preserving fruit expression and balance.

Tasting Notes
Deep purple hue. On the nose: black plum, violet, herbs, and hints of black cherry and olive. The palate offers plush dark fruit, moderate tannin grip, and a meaty texture—solid structure with chewiness that allows it to pair well with food.

Food Pairing
This is your dependable “red sauce wine” — try it with a hearty spaghetti Bolognese or lasagna. As a fun twist, pair it with grilled sausage sliders with sautéed peppers — the wine’s depth and structure stand up to bold, savory flavors.
