Grape Variety
Producer
Made from grapes grown a mere 10 kilometers from the Adriatic Sea, the Collequieto Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a medium-bodied wine with a liberal aroma of blackberry, grilled plum and freshly turned earth. The palate is brimming with notes of ripe black raspberry and grilled plum while a whisper of baking spice adds a layer of complexity. Overall, a well-balanced wine with lively acidity and approachable tannin in harmony with its fruit core. 2023-2025–LW
Collequieto Rosso Piceno DOC
A full-bodied wine crafted from a blend of Sangiovese and Montepulciano. A combination of fresh and dried red fruit adorns the nose with highlights of cranberry, raspberry, strawberry and red plum. The core has good structure with bountiful strawberry, cranberry, raspberry and thyme flavours lifted by a judicious tannic grip. An ideal match for a robust main such as beef and mushroom stew. Great value! 2023-2027–LW
Collequieto Lacrima di Morro d'Alba DOC
Casal Farneto is one of only 20 producers making wine from the incredibly rare Lacrima grape. Also referred to as “the red Gewürztraminer,” this highly aromatic variety provides a delightfully unique experience. The opaque ruby purple hue foreshadows the richness of aromas and flavours to follow. A perfumed bouquet of raspberry, blueberry, blackberry and talc is followed by the same juicy berry flavours wrapped in moderate well-integrated tannin. 2023-2025–LW
