{"product_id":"controvento-rosso-montepulciano-abruzzo-natural-wine","title":"Vino Rosso 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eControvento Vino Rosso 2018 is 100% Montepulciano from Enzo Di Meo's 5-hectare estate in Rocca San Giovanni, a hilltop village on Abruzzo's Costa dei Trabocchi, sitting at 155 meters above sea level roughly 1 kilometer from the Adriatic. The vineyards, planted between 1998 and 2001, grow on calcareous and clayey soils inside the Fosso delle Farfalle, a protected site of community interest (SIC) in the province of Chieti. Sea breezes off the Adriatic cool the vines through the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFarming is certified organic with no synthetic chemicals used in the vineyard or cellar. Vines are fertilized with winter green manure only. Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine ages in the same steel tanks for a few months before bottling unfined, unfiltered, and with zero added sulfites at any stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a direct, fruit-driven red that leads with dark cherry and ripe plum, underscored by peppery spice and a savory, earthy finish. The wine carries a slight natural effervescence and fresh acidity typical of Montepulciano grown close to the coast, where the maritime influence moderates ripeness and preserves brightness. At 12.5% ABV, it drinks with an easy weight without sacrificing structure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Controvento","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35336665923736,"sku":"CVENROSS18C","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/controvento-controvento-abruzzo-italy-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780187027","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/controvento-rosso-montepulciano-abruzzo-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
