ORSUS RISERVA del Fondatore Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOCG Colline Teramane 2013

"Orsus" Riserva del Fondatore Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOCG Colline Teramane 2013 / Fosso Corno / Abruzzo

Red wine from Italy

This special RISERVA is made of 100% Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOCG grapes. The harvest takes place 20 days later than usual, so that grapes dry on the vine itself. After the fermentation, the “ORSUS RISERVA” relaxes 18 -24 months in French oak barrels of 15 hl. and it then rests 12 months in steel tanks before being bottled. The Orsus Riserva has a deep ruby color, a full-body and a rich bouquet. Its long-lasting taste recalls notes of ripe plums and liquorice. The texture of this special Riserva is well-balanced and elegant.
