Damn tasty Montepulciano with just the right amount of rustic charm. Blue fruit, subtly herbal and deliciously meaty.
Gran Sasso is a carbon neutral operation focused on sustainability in the Abruzzo region of Italy. Made in an early drinking style, valuing bright fruit over traditional rusticity. Full-bodied with cherry, sour cherry and blackberry with an intense balsamic note lingering at the finish.

Gran Sasso
Valentino Sciotti is involved with a number of wineries in Puglia, Campania (he is the man behind Vesevo) and his native Abruzzi. The Gran Sasso wines are made by winemakers Francesco De Santis and young winemaker Rino Santeusanio and display a freshness and directness of fruit that sets them apart from other wines from this area.
