The Montepulciano Jorio di Umani Ronchi was produced using 100% Montepulciano grapes from various areas of Abruzzo, carefully selected by Umani Ronchi. After manual harvesting, the clusters were destemmed and lightly pressed. The resulting must was then fermented and macerated in contact with the skins at a controlled temperature of 26-28°C for a period of 10-12 days. Aging took place 50% in 50/80 hectoliter oak barrels and the remaining 50% in third and fourth passage barriques, for a total period of 12 months. Before being released to the market, the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Jorio from Umani Ronchi rested in the bottle for several months.

MONTEPULCIANO JORIO UMANI RONCHI: TASTING

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Jorio from Umani Ronchi presents itself with a ruby red color with purple reflections. On the nose, it expresses aromas of red fruits in jam, mingling with subtle hints of potpourri and evolved notes of vanilla and dark oriental spices. On the palate, it is warm and full-bodied, enhanced by robust yet well-integrated tannins and a pleasant fresh-sapidity that lingers in the finish. It pairs well with cured meats, aged cheeses, as well as flavorful meat dishes based on red meats.
