As a leading wine distributor, we are committed to providing our customers with exceptional wines that reflect both the heritage and innovative spirit of their regions. Among our prized offerings is the Vigna Vetum Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC, a wine that epitomizes the rich winemaking tradition of the Abruzzo region and the craftsmanship of the renowned Terzini winery.
The Legacy of Vigna Vetum Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC
Abruzzo, with its unique geographic location between the Adriatic Sea and the towering Gran Sasso and Majella mountains, offers a perfect climate for viticulture. The region benefits from significant diurnal temperature variations, which are critical for the development of grapes with balanced acidity and complex flavors. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC is one of the most celebrated wine denominations in this area, known for producing robust red wines with deep color, rich fruitiness, and excellent aging potential.
Vigna Vetum, which translates to "old vineyard" in Latin, is a testament to the time-honored traditions of Abruzzo winemaking. The grapes used for this wine are handpicked from vineyards that have been thriving for over three decades in the Casauria Valley, an area noted for its ideal terroir. The wine undergoes a meticulous aging process: 12 months in stainless steel tanks to preserve its primary fruit flavors, followed by 12 months in oak barrels, which imbue the wine with subtle spice and vanilla notes, and a final aging period of four months in the bottle to harmonize its flavors【7†source】【8†source】.
Tasting Notes and Food Pairing
The Vigna Vetum Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC greets the senses with an intense ruby red color, hinting at the depth of flavors within. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of dark cherries, plums, and blackberries, interwoven with hints of tobacco, leather, and a touch of spice. The palate is equally impressive, showcasing a full-bodied structure with well-integrated tannins and a smooth, velvety finish. The balanced acidity and rich fruit profile make it an ideal companion to a variety of dishes, including roasted meats, hearty pasta, and aged cheeses.

At Wine Affairs, we believe that great wine starts in the vineyard, and our commitment to quality is matched by our dedication to sustainable and organic practices. We take pride in collaborating with winemakers who share our values, such as Terzini, whose vineyards are cultivated with respect for the environment and a focus on biodiversity. The use of traditional, low-intervention methods ensures that the true essence of the terroir is captured in every bottle of Vigna Vetum Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC.
