Il Fattore - Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC

Il Vecchio Priore and Il Fattore are an expression of history and tradition, they tell the passion that has binded our family to the Abruzzo hills for years. The rigorous research of the old Montepulciano and Pecorino strains, the new cultivation techniques in respect of the territory and the traditional vinification and aging techniques allow these wines to express all their personality and enhance the authenticity and quality of the " Hills of Pescara ".

Power and elegance, for a wine that is second to none. An intense and complex red in all its aspects: in color, aroma and taste. The deep red color with violet reflections is the first impact with this surprising wine. The richness of ripe red fruit that predominates on the nose is enhanced by an elegant note of vanilla, given by the slow maturation in oak barrels, to maximize all its qualities. Excellent tannic balance that enhances the richly fruity taste. A wine that will amaze you in all its characteristics!
