2015 Torre Zambra Villamagna DOC

Villamagna DOC is the result of a valorisation project of Villamagna territories located in Abruzzo, where during the decades families used to produce a genuine wine, black as pitch, unique. Just a few years ago, a group of committed vignerons, armed with wisdom and love for their land, began studies and research that identified Villamagna as excellent vineyard country for making great red wines. The mix of particular climate conditions and the soil composition, in fact, supports a special cultivation and encourages a traditional production, making the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo produced here one of the best in the region; that is the reason behind the creation of a new designation, intended to remark and protect this area and its wines, enhancing the heritage of winemaking worldwide. The Villamagna DOC production area is limited to only 85 hectares of the best plots in the municipal districts of Villamagna, Vacri and Bucchianico, in the province of Chieti, with south-east or south-west exposure, and altitudes between 30 and 180 metres. The wine is quite unique, a pure Montepulciano d’Abruzzo from grapes selected in the winery’s vineyards in the municipality of Villamagna. Yield is less than 120 quintals per hectare and every cluster is selected by hand and stored in small wooden crates for the trip to the cellar. Vinification is in steel tanks at controlled temperature of 28 – 30 °C, with long maceration on the skins for 45 days. The wine then matures for 12 months in concrete vats and for 6 months in bottle. The decision not to use wood for ageing the wines was inspired by the aim to allow the terroir to express its full natural potential. In the glass, the wine is pitch black and the nose shows the typical notes of the Villamagna production area: cocoa powder, ground coffee and leather. In the mouth the wine is intense, with perfect follow through, caressing mouthfeel and a peppery finale. Great with pork with plums and apple purée
