Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Dop Colle Cavalieri
Cantina Tollo
Colle Cavalieri hails from the rolling hills of Abruzzo, crafted from 100% Montepulciano grapes, beautifully showcasing the local terroir's fruity aromas and structural depth. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, de-stemmed, gently crushed, and undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel for 4 months, followed by several months of bottle aging to achieve flavor integration. This wine offers a delightful balance of vibrant fresh fruit character and a medium to full body. Colle Cavalieri pairs excellently with various grilled red meats, Italian tomato-based stews, and moderately aged cheeses; its soft tannins and rounded fruit make it a great choice for both new drinkers and discerning connoisseurs.
