Tenuta Tre Gemme – Montepulciano D'Abruzzo DON ROCCO 2019

New winery!

Tre Gemme's tribute to "DON ROCCO" Perrucci, the founder. The grapes come from a 40-year-old vineyard, hand-picked at optimal ripeness.

Tasting Notes

The aromatic profile of this wine is extremely complex. Marasca and cherries in spirit, blackberry and wild berries, hints of undergrowth, tobacco, coffee, dark chocolate. A slight balsamic note makes the retronasal aroma intriguing. In the mouth, it is ample and powerful, tannins still vibrant and well-integrated.

Vineyard

40-year-old at 350 m, limestone and clay

Vinification

The must is left on the skins for 15 days: vinification takes place in stainless steel, at a controlled fermentation temperature of 22-24°C. Maturation begins in underground-built cement tanks where the wine rests for 12 months. Thereafter, the wine evolves for a further 24 months in middle-toasted French oak barriques and big shelf life barrels of Slavonian oak. 6 more months in bottle.

Colour

Intense ruby red color

Food Pairing

Excellent with salami and lardo di colonnata. Pasta with beef ragu sauce, pappardelle with duck, risotto or polenta with mushrooms. Grilled steak and game, braised lamb, glazed pork

Serving Temperature
