Deeply coloured with garnet highlights. Sun-ripened nose showing a mix of stone fruits, strong spices and smoky notes. The palate is full and chewy with clean aromatics revolving around a menthol core. Sleek, energetic finish for a balanced and very fleshy wine.

With their winery located with the National Park area of Gran Sasso, this family owned winey began their estate in the early 1900's when the first vineyards were purchased but it wasn't until two generations later, the family decided to bottle wines under their own label. When the first grandchild was born, she had flaming red har just like her grandmother, so the label created was "Testarossa" (redhead). This 100% Montepulciano has aromas of plums and cherries with nuances of violet. On the palate it's full-bodied with ripe red cherry, cocoa, licorice, tobacco, leather with smooth tannins and a long finish. The bottle boasts a leather label on this 1.5 L.
