Appellation: Denominazione di Origine Protetta DOP

NATIVAE Montepulciano D’Abruzzo DOP is a wine obtained with spontaneous fermentation using the wild yeast hidden in the grape. Unfiltered and unclarified. This extraordinary wine is made from 40 year old grapes cultivated with wisdom. This wine is our respect for the traditions of the native region. This is fine winemaking at its purest, most fundamental.

Winemaking:
– Spontaneous fermentation in cement tanks
– Not clarified
– Not filtered
Ageing: In cement tanks before bottling followed by 3 months in bottle
Closure: Natural cork
Organoleptic evaluation:
Deep ruby red with developed rim. Nose of red plums, very intense yet nuanced with hints of fireplace ash. Surprising amount of fruit on the palate showing singed herbs alongside plum skin, dark cherry fruit, and liquorice. The long, clean, focused finish is buoyed by well integrated but refreshing acidity.
The end result is an amazingly complex and profound wine that can age for years, even a decade or more.
