60% Montepulciano & 40% Merlot, these blends are luxurious deep organic red wines that combine one of Abruzzo’s preferred grapes – Montepulciano, with one of the world’s most widely planted varieties, Merlot. Alzavola rosso is considered an “easy-drinking” wine thanks to it’s rich tannins and deliciously soft velvety dark fruit flavors such as cherry and plum. This classy blend , is ideal with red meat, game, excellent as an aperitif, and first courses.
A ruby red color filled with richness and elegance. An aromatic scent from the most intense to the most delicate. From ripe to bitter fruit, from the earth to the toasted balsamic woods, the wild flowers to fruit jellies, to arrive at stadiums of leather extremes.

The soils are made up of textured lands and generally end with a limestone substrate and rocky outcrops sparse. The thermal values characterize a rather warm texture, with little annual rainfall and very high temperature ranges; ideal conditions that have a positive influence on the quality of the grapes.
Both the Merlot and Montepulciano are aged between 6 to 8 months. The Merlot in oak barrels, and the Montepulciano in stainless steel tanks.
