Roggio Antico Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC - Cantine Bove

Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from the Old World presents wonderfully expressive aromas of plum, mulberry, blackcurrant and plum, rounded off with cocoa bean, oriental spices and dark chocolate.

This Italian wine delights with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with 3 grams of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine at the upper end of the price range, this Italian wine naturally delights with the finest balance despite its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily require a lot of residual sugar. This light red wine is light-footed and complex on the palate. Thanks to the moderate fruit acidity, the Roggio Antico Montepulciano d'Abruzzo flatters the palate with a soft sensation without lacking freshness. The finish of this youthful red wine from the Abruzzo wine-growing region, more precisely from Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC, is convincing with a good aftertaste.
