Radica Montepulciano D'Abruzzo

Vigneti Radica has been through three generations of the Radica family winemakers: grandfather Rocco, father Antonio, Giacomo Radica today. The Radica family kept bulls for generations, which is reflected in the distinctive label design. The 30 hectares of Radica vineyards extend across four municipalities in the Abruzzo Region: Fara Filiourum Petri, Ari, Tollo and Ortona between the sea and the mountains. They use only their own fruit and the majority of their vineyards are now certified organic. Their wines are precisely made in a modern, fruit forward style which reflects the varieties and their origins. The core range offers a great value organic option for both trade and consumers, while the top red is a top quality example of Montepulciano.

Their Montepulciano D’Abruzzo is from vines planted in Fara Filiorum Petri and Ortona in 1985 at 200 to 300 m above sea level on clay soils with a slope of 7-10% a South-South East exposure. The vines are trained to the local Abruzzo Pergola system and hand-picked in October. An unoaked juicy red, bursting with moreish bramble fruits with impressive depth for the price. Fresh and alive, with ripe, food friendly tannins on the finish. Certified organic.
