The 2023 Due Mari Montepulciano d’Abruzzo offers a captivating taste of Italy’s rustic Abruzzo region. Bold black fruit aromas mingle with wood smoke and tar layers, creating a smoky complexity that balances its fruit-forward character. This Montepulciano pairs beautifully with classic Italian dishes like Parma ham, sausage pizza, or beef bolognese, making it a versatile choice for hearty meals. Best served slightly below room temperature, this wine embodies the rugged charm of Abruzzo’s picturesque vineyards.
