Fattoria Nicodemi - Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane DOCG "Le Murate"

MONTEPULCIANO D’ABRUZZO COLLINE TERAMANE DOCG "LE MURATE"

The Montepulciano was first produced back in 1977. From 2014 we elevated this wine to the ranks of a Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Colline Teramane DOCG, an authentic testimonial to this vineyard country and its cultivar. “Le Murate”, named after one of Notaresco’s old districts, is made from selected grapes from our legacy of Abruzzo pergola vines, planted in the 1970s, and from more recent plantings, which are about 15 years old.
