The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
Today, Montepulciano is one of the most famous red grape varieties in the world. It's used to make many different wines in a wide variety of styles. This one from Passofino is a true gem. The grapes grow in chalky soil. The vineyard is situated on the best hills with the best sun exposure, and you can taste that in the flavorful and powerful Passofino Montepulciano D'Abruzzo.
The new Feudi Bizantini winery was founded in 2012 by a group of wine enthusiasts who combined their passion for wine and put it into practice. To produce high-quality wines, they believe in a unique combination of climate, terroir, grape varieties, and human touch. The vineyards are located near the village of Crecchio, southeast of the coastal town of Pescara on the Adriatic Sea. This unique location allows the vineyards to benefit from the cooling influence of both the mountains and the sea. This results in wines with abundant aroma and power, characteristic of this wine region. They utilize innovative, contemporary winemaking techniques and the best research, which has led to this wine region becoming a world-class wine region.
Despite innovations and modern winemaking techniques, Feudi Bizantini remains committed to honoring the terroir's traditions. Classic wines are made with the region's classic grapes, such as this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, the company's most important. The Montepulciano grape harvest takes place in early November. For this red wine, the grapes are harvested by hand. The soil where the vines are planted is very chalky. The wine maceration takes place in stainless steel vats for fifteen to twenty days. The aroma of this Passofino Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is very fruity and concentrated, with hints of cherries, blackberries, chocolate, plums, and currants. The palate is very soft, rounded, and refined. A beautiful bouquet includes blackberries, plums, ripe berries, and hints of cocoa, vanilla, and jam.
