MASCIARELLI VILLA GEMMA MONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO 2017

F ounded by Abruzzo native Gianni Masciarelli in 1981, Masciarelli and its wines have become the standard-bearer for the Abruzzo region, and an inspiration to all emerging Italian wine regions. After a summer in Champagne, Gianni Masciarelli became convinced that world- class wines could be produced in Abruzzo, and through tremendous vision and non-stop innovation, Masciarelli became one of the most admired wineries in Italy. Villa Gemma is the wine that announced Abruzzo to the world, showcasing what the region and grapes of Abruzzo could produce. Villa Gemma Montepulciano Riserva is the only Italian wine with 14 consecutive Tre Bicchieri awards and, more importantly, was the wine that established Abruzzo as capable of making truly distinct, extraordinary wines. Villa Gemma Montepulciano Riserva is a powerfully – almost undeniably – intense wine of character and complexity.

2017

Result of a continuous research in the vineyard and in the cellar, Villa Gemma Riserva is made from 100% Montepulciano grapes harvested by hand from a single vineyard with very high planting density. Powerful and elegant, it reveals great expressive power and extraordinary capacity for aging, with full and explosive aromas that evolve in a surprising way over the years. An ideal choice for main courses of meat and game or aged cheeses, it is also an astonishing choice at the end of a meal when paired with a dark chocolate dessert.
