Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Rocca Estate 2022 £9.50
Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Rocca Estate 2022 is a richly satisfying red from Italy’s Abruzzo region, bringing the classic character of Montepulciano to the glass. Expect an inviting core of black cherry and blackberry, layered with gentle notes of liquorice. As it opens, the palate gains depth from tobacco leaf, dried herbs and warm spice, creating a thoughtful balance between fruit and savoury complexity.
This is the kind of bottle that works brilliantly for weeknight dinners or relaxed weekends when you want something special without being fussy. Serve it slightly chilled for a burst of juicy flavour, or let it warm at the table to bring out the more earthy, savoury edges. With its smooth, confident structure and flavours that linger, it’s an excellent choice for anyone exploring the Abruzzi reds from our range—ready to pair, share, and enjoy again and again.

Italy
The ancient Greeks called Italy "Oenotria" meaning wine land and its inhabitants are today as passionate about their wines as ever. Hand in hand with this passion goes an intense commitment to local styles and local grape varietes, of which there are said to be more than 500. Yes 500 different varieties! As a result, Italy produces a wider, more fascinating range of individual, characterful wines than anywhere else in the world. And over the last two decades in particular, Italy's very finest wines have improved out of sight and their star is still on the rise. If anyone is going to truly challenge the famous names of France for supremacy in the battle for the hearts and minds of wine collectors the world over, it's the Italians. Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhone look out. Here comes Tuscany, Piedmont and Puglia!
Abruzzo
It is not surprising that Abruzzo provides a perfect haven for grape growing. Vines flourish thanks to the terroir, the abundance of sunshine, the generous rainfall and a variable climate. On the coast it is warm and dry on the coast; inland it is more continental (hot in summer and cold in winter).Furthermore, the high altitudes see dramatic temperature variations. When combined with cool mountain air currents, they moderate the temperatures in the vineyards situated on the slopes. This provides a perfect mesoclimate for the vines. The most favourable growing conditions are found in the low hills of Teramo, the Colline Teramane.
