Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC "Pentima" 2020

The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC "Pentima" 2020 from Cantina Margiotta has an intense ruby ​​red color and garnet reflections. On the nose it offers spicy and vanilla notes, with hints of ripe fruit. On the palate, it is structured and well balanced, with soft tannins and a long persistence. The three-year aging in oak barrels gives depth and complexity.

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo "Pentima" is ideal for red meats, roasts and braised meats. Its aromatic richness also pairs perfectly with mature cheeses and Abruzzo cuisine. Served at 18-20°C, it best expresses its qualities.

The "Pentima" wine has its roots in the historic Corfinio, formerly known as Pentima until 1928. This city, located in the Peligna Valley in Abruzzo, was the capital of the Italian League during the Social War (91-88 BC), uniting the Italic peoples against Rome. It was here that the name "Italy" was used for the first time in a coin minted by the insurgents. This Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC represents a tribute to the tradition and historical memory of the region, celebrating its ancient origin and the historical importance of Corfinio.
