Il Faggio – Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2019 (Case of 6x750ml)

This wine is deep ruby red in colour, with lifted notes of dark fruits, plums and cherries with a hint of mocha. It has soft, ripe tannins and a delicious chocolate-cherry finish.

The goal of Il Faggio Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is to express the potency and strength of the grape varietal grown in this area. The hue is a deep ruby red, while the aroma is one of dark fruits, plums, and cherries accompanied by a subtle note of mocha.  Supple, ripe tannins render a delightful chocolate-cherry finish.

About the Producer

Il Faggio is made for Liberty Wines by Matt Thomson’s colleague, Alana McGettigan, at one of the region’s best co-operatives in the northern part of the Abruzzi. The aim is to capture in the bottle the power and intensity of the grape, together with a lift and freshness which is seldom found in wine from this region. The name, Il Faggio, derives from the fabulous beech trees which proliferate in this area, especially in the Abruzzo national park.
