Montepulciano is the top red wine grape of Italy’s Abruzzo region. La Chiamata has earned a special place in this sun-kissed region for its faithful and consistent representation of the grape in an easy-drinking pleasant red wine that is equally at home on a casual table of pasta, casseroles and kebabs, or an elegant dinner. Pizza night is a natural. It also tastes great on its own.
A bright plum color greets the eye before opening the bottle to reveal aromas of luscious red cherries, including a hint of maraschino. Hints of dried oregano and bits of shaved cinnamon and crushed almond mingle with aromas of crushed dried violets and rose petals.
Coming from a stunningly beautiful region flanked by the Adriatic Sea and its azure/turquoise waters and the foothills of the Apennine Mountains, this rugged green territory is ideal for the cultivation of the second most-planted grape in Italy.
