Corte Vigna Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC MAGNUM 2024

Corte Vigna Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC comes in a generous 1.5L bottle that brings plenty of Abruzzo charm to the table, with ripe blackberry, dark plum and raspberry fruit backed by violet, peppery spice and savoury notes. The 2024 is dry and medium-weight, with lively acidity and firm, food-friendly tannins keeping all that fruit nicely in line. Made from Montepulciano on Italy's Adriatic side, it is an easy choice when one standard bottle simply will not do. Crack it open for a long lunch, pizza night, grilled meats or a well-stocked cheeseboard.

What the winery says:
