Caldora Yume Montepulciano D'Abruzzo 2018

Born from the co-op, Cantina Sociale di Ortona, Caldora winery is a relatively fresh business based in the province of Chieti in Italy’s Abruzzo region. The intense quality checks of the region means that today a total of around 200 hectares of high quality fruit, contribute to making Caldora’s delicious wines. Their wine is being sold successfully in almost 30 countries and has already received praise from specialised wine publications and noteworthy acknowledgments in major wine competitions.

This wine subsequently undergoes malolactic fermentation which gives the wine smooth and round perception, then it is refined in American wood barriques for about 6 months (60% French oak - 40% American oak barrique).

The outcome of this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a fabulous red ruby color with garnet highlights, intense and persistent, with spicy aromas, hints of chocolate and tar. The dominant flavour however, on both the nose and palate, is the copious fruit. This wine boasts good structure, tannins and a reassuring balance.

Best served with rich main courses such as roasted or stewed meats and classic Abruzzese salami.
