A vibrant expression of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo from the innovative CasalFarneto estate, Collequieto combines tradition with modern eco-conscious winemaking. Founded in 1995, the 35-acre estate blends sustainable vineyard practices with advanced cellar technology, producing wines of clarity, balance, and character while maintaining harmony with the surrounding Abruzzo landscape.
Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby red with garnet reflections, the nose is expressive with ripe dark cherries, plums, and subtle hints of red currant, layered with gentle spice and earthy undertones. On the palate, the wine is dry, warm, and medium-to-full bodied, with soft, integrated tannins, a rich fruit core, and a lingering, harmonious finish.
Winemaking:
Made from 100% Montepulciano, the grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and vinified using low-intervention methods to preserve freshness and varietal character. Fermentation and ageing take place under carefully controlled conditions within the estate’s innovative barrel and tank facilities, which maintain constant temperatures and support slow, even maturation. Sustainability is at the heart of production, with eco-friendly vineyard management, minimal intervention winemaking, and energy-efficient cellar practices ensuring purity and environmental responsibility from vine to bottle.
Food Pairing:
Pairs beautifully with pasta in tomato or meat sauces, roasted and grilled meats, lamb, mature cheeses, and charcuterie. Its warmth and structure also complement braised dishes and rich, earthy fare.
ABV: 13.5%
