Montepulciano D'Abruzzo DOP Biologico Humus 2019 Rupicapra

Description

Humus: through Abruzzo’s tradition

The word 'transhumance' derives from the verb 'transhume', ie transiting on the ground, crossing: the verb is the union of the two Latin words 'trans', which means beyond, and 'humus' which means soil, ground. In Italy this ancient custom is built upon transporting (precisely 'transhuming') the animals from the mountains to the rich pastures of the Gargano and from this activity takes its name what, probably, is the most famous wine and representative of Abruzzo, Montepulciano. Humus is a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo PDO from organic viticulture, a friend of the land and nature, the son of a philosophy that is realized in every production step and that gives a wine of excellent quality.

Ruby red with purple rim, on the nose it smells of blackberry and blueberry jam, vegetable nuances and undergrowth, along with hints of rhubarb and notes that remind talc. The taste is fresh, soft and round, with modulated and long tannins, with typical rusticity in the second beat and a long closing on aromatic vegetal notes reminiscent of the laurel.

Excellent with roasted meat, first courses with meat sauce and medium-aged cheeses.
