Some six hours from Milan is one of the most beautiful, untouched landscapes you could imagine: green valleys and snow-capped mountains, with the Adriatic Sea for horizon. Here is the estate of Abruzzi-born Gaetano Lamaletto. Forty years ago and freshly married to Maria, he left his native land, staking everything he had on a South American ceramics venture that was to bear golden fruits. It would have been only natural for the Lamalettos to enjoy their hard-earned success and give Abruzzi no more than the fleeting tribute of nostalgia.\nInstead, Gaetano chose to craft a range of all-Abruzzi wines in celebration of his homeland. In 1996, he secured 67 acres of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo (now expanded to 99 acres) and one of Italy’s greatest oenologists: Franco Bernabei. The entire estate, now totalling 129 acres that comprise superb olive groves, is 100% organically cultivated.\n\nAll phases of the preparatory work have been supervised not only by Bernabei and Gaetano, but by the latter’s eldest daughter, Laura, and manager Rocco Cipollone.\n\nThe sandy-clayey-silty terrain – catered to by ideal microclimate, ideal temperature range, ideal varieties, ideally trained and drained – is, in Bernabei’s words, baciato da Dio,"kissed by God". In 2004, the range was expanded to two white blends (Yare now being flanked by Il Feuduccio Bianco) and four native Montepulciano d’Abruzzos.\n\nImage for Montepulciano Wine content section\nMontepulciano Wine\n View all products\nMontepulciano is the second most planted red variety in Italy after Sangiovese, though it is achieves its highest potential in the region of Abruzzo. Consistently enticing and enjoyable, Montepulciano enjoys great popularity throughout central and southern Italy as well. A tiny bit grows with success in California, Argentina and Australia. Somm Secret—Montepulciano is also the name of a village in Tuscany where, confusingly, they don’t grow the Montepulciano grape at all! Sangiovese shines in yet another Tuscan village, here making the reputable wine called Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.\n\nImage for Abruzzo Wine Italy content section\nAbruzzo Wine\nItaly\n View all products\nA warm, Mediterranean vine-growing paradise, in Abruzzo, the distance from mountains to seaside is relatively short. The Apenniness, which run through the center of Italy, rise up on its western side while the Adriatic Sea defines its eastern border.\n\nWine composition tends to two varieties: Abruzzo’s red grape, Montepulciano and its white, Trebbiano. Montepulciano d’Abruzzo can come in a quaffable, rustic and fruity style that generally drinks best young. It is also capable of making a more serious style, where oak aging tames its purely wild fruit.\n\nTrebbiano in Abruzzo also comes in a couple of varieties. Trebbiano Toscana makes a simple and fruity white. However when meticulously tended, the specific Trebbiano d’Abruzzo-based white wines can be complex and long-lived.\n\nIn the region’s efforts to focus on better sites and lower yields, vine acreage has decreased in recent years while quality has increased.\n\nItems Similar to Il Feuduccio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Fonte Venna 2021\nTorre Zambra Madia Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nTorre Zambra Madia Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nMontepulciano | Italy\nJS92WS91\n12 99\nAdd to Cart\nLa Valentina Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nLa Valentina Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nMontepulciano | Italy\nJS91\n17 99\nAdd to Cart\nGarofoli Rosso Conero Piancarda 2019\nGarofoli Rosso Conero Piancarda 2019\nMontepulciano | Italy\nV90\n18 99\nAdd to Cart\nCasata Parini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022\nCasata Parini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022\nMontepulciano | Italy\n9 99\nAdd to Cart\nMasciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nMasciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nMontepulciano | Italy\n16\n12 99\nAdd to Cart\nFantini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022\nFantini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022\nMontepulciano | Italy\n14 99\nAdd to Cart\nVigneti del Sole Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022\nVigneti del Sole Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022\nMontepulciano | Italy\n9 99\nAdd to Cart\nCaldora Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nCaldora Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nMontepulciano | Italy\n16 99\nAdd to Cart\nI Lauri Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Le Pinciaie 2018\nI Lauri Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Le Pinciaie 2018\nMontepulciano | Italy\n23 99\nAdd to Cart\nTiberio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nTiberio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nMontepulciano | Italy\n27 99\nAdd to Cart\nCataldi Madonna Malandrino Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nCataldi Madonna Malandrino Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nMontepulciano | Italy\n26 99\nAdd to Cart\nCarletto Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nCarletto Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021\nMontepulciano | Italy\n11 99\nAdd to Cart
