Rosarubra Shamàn Montepulciano DOC Riserva 2015 0,75L

Red wine of Montepulciano Rosarubra Shamàn

Sensory notes

Colour: A bright, impenetrable garnet red with a magnificent texture.
Smell: The nose is very intense, with a floral note of geranium, rose, a fruity note of blackberry jam, plum, cherry, and a spicy note of vanilla and tobacco.
Taste: A generous, pulpy taste, warmth and softness well balanced with important but smooth, round, non-invasive acidity and tannins, and a delicate sapidity.

The flavor is in perfect harmony with the sense of smell, which coexists with berries, humus, earth, cloves, licorice and a roasting that accompanies the long, delicately bitter finish.

Harvesting
The Shamàn was born in Pietranico (PE) from the best grapes of ancient vineyards raised with GDC and spurred cordon, at an altitude of 380 meters above sea level, therefore with an enviable temperature range, magnificently exposed to the south / south-east, in an enchanting oasis biodynamic, nestled between the peaks of Maiella and Morrone, the gorges of Popoli and the Adriatic Sea.

A Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC, scrupulously selected by hand, the result of a late manual harvest in the first half of October, with a slight overripeness of the grapes and a slight increase in residual sugar.

Winemaking
Vinification in steel followed by malolactic fermentation and maturation of 18 months in a single large 50hl Slavonian oak barrel, to then be bottled in the total absence of oxygen and begin refinement for at least another 8 months.

How to pair our Shamàn Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC Riserva wine
A magnificent wine, a masterpiece, yet another success of the Rosarubra di Pietranico estate, a wine that tells the story of a life lived in an extraordinary oasis where the land itself, the scents and flavors generated, are the result of an organization never to interfere with nature.

Born to be enjoyed in moments of reflection, it is also well expressed in company with dishes of equivalent structure and elegance; we suggest waiting a few minutes after opening to allow it to reveal its secrets, possibly at a temperature of 18-20 degrees and with a nice large goblet with a wide rim.

Much appreciated with a good book, but also with aperitifs, appetizers, first courses, vegetarian foods, red meats and medium and long-aged cheeses such as a focaccia filled with zucchini and speck, escalopes with mushrooms, maltagliati with wild boar sauce, filet with green pepper, semi-seasoned Farindola pecorino.
