The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Liberamente di Centorame is one of the three company wines produced with spontaneous fermentation and without added sulfites. Each label of Lamberto Vannucci can be considered a cru, as the grapes always come from a single vineyard and are vinified exclusively in purity. This Montepulciano comes from half a hectare of vineyard of about 12 years old, at 200 meters above sea level with east-west exposure, on a loamy-clayey medium dough soil. The grapes are harvested late, undergo soft pressing and crushing, long maceration (up to 25 days) with careful punch-downs and délestage (délestage is a delicate phase that consists of completely emptying the tank of fermenting must, which is then sent to a support tank to ensure oxygenation); the wine then ages for 5 months in steel.

MONTEPULCIANO LIBERAMENTE SENZA SOLFITI CENTORAME: TASTING

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Liberamente di Centorame presents itself as a bright ruby red; on the nose it is rich in red fruit, with candied sour cherries and syrupy plums blending with faded flowers. On the palate, it has a beautiful softness, smoothed tannins, and freshness with a pomegranate flavor. So good with a porchetta sandwich.
