Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Striga Il Mostro 2021

100% Montepulciano

Abruzzo, Italy

The grapes were hand-harvested from a southeast facing vineyard at 190-200 meters above sea level. They were crushed immediately once back at the cellar, and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wines remained there to age for 6 months, prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered, with a 75 ppm dosage of sulfur.

Deep cherry in color, with a fruity and vinous bouquet. The palate is harmonic and soft but with good acidity and notes of cherry, boysenberry, and oregano. The finish is round and juicy.
