WINERY: Valle Martello
COUNTRY: Italy
REGION: Abruzzo
APPELLATION: Villamagna DOC
GRAPE: 100% Montepulciano
WINEMAKER NOTES: The name Villamagna comes from two latin words: “Villa”, mansion, and “magnus”, great. It is no coincidence that in the past, it has always served as the summer residence of the clergy, as demonstrated by the magnificent Archbishop Palace.
TASTING NOTES: Ruby red with purple highlights, this wine shows intensely fruity notes of black cherry and blackberry. In the mouth, it fills the palate with its smooth and velvety taste. Balanced and harmonious.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Pairs very well with Mediterranean fare, meats, salami and strong cheeses.
ABOUT THE WINERY: The Valle Martello winery stands on 50 hectars of vineyards. One of its most peculiar characteristics is its key location: situated on two hilltops facing each other, respectively north and south, allowing to benefit from highly selected grapes according to the climatic conditions of the year. Theirs is a family story, like many in the Italian viticulture, started by the founder Giuseppe Masci in the postwar years. It is a story of passion and sacrifices, sharecropping and emigration, return and hope in a better future. Since the year 2000, five cousins are pursuing a project started 70 years earlier, with the same beliefs and values: making great wines, emphasizing the territory and allowing people from every part of the world to enjoy it through a glass of wine.
