“The Montepulciano grape is present in Abruzzo since time immemorial, but only in the seventeenth century began to call this grape with its current name. The origin of the grape seems to be common to other types of black berry south, all clearly derived from Greece. In the centuries it will remain the appreciation that he had not the Carthaginian general Hannibal, who held it in check for many years in Rome, invigorating men and horses with the wine produced in the territory of Aprutzi. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC La Valentina is a great class and recognized value, thanks to its production in the tradition.”

“A wine with high layer, cherry colour. The red smells good, like red fruit compote. The La Valentina Montepulciano D'Abruzzo had been badly kept, because you could taste like ripe grapes. Good wine with a dish of lentils. Me and my friends always order this wine a for dinner .”
