Read moreNestled in Central Italy between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine Mountains, the Teramo hills (Colline Teramane) boast an ideal microclimate for viticulture. Because of this unique terroir, the region was elevated to the prestigious DOCG status in 2003. Compared to regular Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, this red wine is crafted under much stricter regulations, including mandatory longer aging and lower yields, ensuring an incredible concentration of flavor and velvety tannins.
Colline Teramane DOCG is a true gastronomic powerhouse. With its full body, deep ruby color, and aromas of blackberries, tobacco, and licorice, it demands protein-rich, hearty food. It pairs wonderfully with roasted lamb, beef stews, game, and aged sheep's milk cheeses. It is the ultimate wine for meat, guaranteed to impress your guests.
Should this red wine be decanted?
Yes. Because of its powerful structure and oak aging, we highly recommend pouring the wine into a decanter for at least 1 to 2 hours before serving. The oxygen will help soften the tannins and reveal the full complexity of the aromas.
What is the aging potential of these wines?
Colline Teramane DOCG, particularly those labeled as "Riserva," possess excellent longevity. When stored properly in a cellar, they can evolve and improve gracefully for 10 to 15 years.
Is this a good choice for a gift?
Without a doubt. It is a luxurious and somewhat rarer Italian wine, making it a sophisticated wine gift for anyone who appreciates robust, classic red wines.
