During the vinification phases, only loyal and constant oenological practices of the area are allowed, suitable to give the wines their particular quality characteristics.
The oenological practices of vinification of DOC Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wines include, among other things, that:
– The maximum yield of grapes into wine must not exceed 70% for both types of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and Riserva. If these parameters are exceeded within the limit of 5%, the excess will not be entitled to the DOCG. Beyond these limits, the right to DOCG for the whole product lapses.
– In the designation of the Controguerra DOC wines, the term ” Vigna ” may be mentioned as long as it is followed by the relative toponym and certain winemaking practices are respected.
– The Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva DOC wine must undergo an aging period of at least 24 months, of which at least 9 in wooden containers.

The presence of the vine and the production of good red wines in the delimited production area dates back to Polybius, a Greek historian who lived between 205 and 123 BC, who, narrating the exploits of Hannibal after the victory of Canne (216 BC), praised the wines of this area as they had healed the wounded and restored the men to strength.
Even the Latin poet Publio Ovidio Nasone, born in Sulmona in 43 BC, recalls his native land with his verses: “Sulmona, the third part of the Peligna countryside keeps me, a small land, but healthy for the spring waters. ……. Fertile land of the ear of Ceres, and even more of grapes, some fields also yield the tree of Pallas, the olive tree, … ”.
Since then, many other writers have praised the quality of the wines produced in the Abruzzo area, but the first historical news on the presence of the Montepulciano grape in Abruzzo is contained in the work of 8 Michele Torcia entitled Saggio National Itinerary for the Peligni Country made in 1792.
After the Torcia, many historical texts and technical manuals describe the characteristics of this vine: we remember Panfilo Serafini (Sulmona 1817-1864) who in the historical Monograph of Sulmona, which appeared in Naples in 1854 in the well-known periodical “The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies”, written and illustrated , wrote: “The most common vines are Montepulciano, whether primaticcio, cordisco or tardivo ….”, Professor Andrea Vivenza with the Brief rules for making wine of 1867, Edoardo Ottavi and Arturo Marescalchi with the work from Vade-Mecum title of the merchant of grapes and wines in Italy, the first edition of which was published in 1897.
This vine, perfectly acclimatized in inland areas, in particular in the Peligna Valley to which it was initially limited, spread towards the coastal strip at the end of the 1800s and from the second post-war period became the most cultivated red grape in the region.

Today it constitutes the basis of the most important and appreciated Abruzzo wine, the oenological symbol of an entire region, the “Montepulciano d’Abruzzo” DOC, recognized in 1968, whose specification has been subject to some changes over the years aimed at qualifying the product and territorial identification by identifying specific sub-areas.

Montepulciano

Black Grape

Info

The black grape Montepulciano is grown in the regions of Abruzzo, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Emilia-Romagna, Latium, Lombardy, Marche, Molise, Sardinia, Sicily, Tuscany, Umbria.
Montepulciano is a vine of uncertain origin, it has often been confused with Sangiovese, probably due to the reference to the Tuscan municipality of Montepulciano. Even scholars such as Molon (1906) classified it among the Sangioveti. Today it is certain that the two grape varieties have nothing in common and we are more likely to consider it a descendant of some grape variety of Greek origin.

Wine Characteristics

The Montepulciano grape in purity gives a wine of a beautiful intense ruby ​​red color. Its scent is vinous and fruity. In the mouth it is dry and warm, with balanced tannins, suitable for aging. It also lends itself to white vinification and the production of rosé wines by partial maceration of the grapes in purity.
