Valle Maris, organic, sustainable and vegan Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC is signed Torre Zambra. It is born in the heart of Abruzzo, in Villamagna, a small village characterised by hills overlooking the Adriatic Sea and breathing the fresh air of the Majella. Sunny days and cool nights create the perfect environment for high quality grapes, enriched by a minerality that comes from the limestone-clay soils typical of the area. Produced entirely from Montepulciano grapes, these are grown using the traditional Abruzzo Pergola training system, which protects the bunches from direct sunlight and encourages optimal ripening of the fruit. Vinification follows a careful and respectful approach. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with a long maceration of the skins for 30 days. This process allows the maximum extraction of aromatic and polyphenolic substances, guaranteeing structure and complexity to the wine. After fermentation, the wine is aged for six months in vitrified cement tanks, a material that preserves the freshness of the aromas, followed by three months of rest in the bottle for further balance. Valle Maris has a brilliant ruby red colour. On the nose, notes of red fruit jam such as black cherry and plum stand out, accompanied by a refined chocolatey hint. The taste is full and smooth, with intense hints of chocolate and a delicately spicy finish, making it rich and persistent. Perfect with cured meats and mature cheeses, it also goes well with meat-based first courses, such as pappardelle al ragù, or stewed white meats.
