Valle Reale, Montepulciano, 2024

Valle Reale was founded in 2000 with the goal of producing world-class wines. Working with Abruzzo native grapes the Pizzolo family strives to make wines that highlight the grape’s intrinsic qualities: strength, exuberance, vitality, colour, elegance, balance and depth. Located in the green heart of Abruzzo, Valle Reale’s vineyards are situated inside one of Italy’s most beautiful national parks. This is a wild paradise, with deep gorges carved by glaciers, crystal-clear springs and a diverse array of flora and fauna. Valle Reale is one of the few wine-producing estates in this area of pristine beauty. The topography and climate of this part of Abruzzo is completely different from the rest of the region and unique within central Italy. The vineyards have thin soils rich in limestone, with a light base of clay and sand. The geographic and climatic peculiarities of this area are reflected in the wines, which are characterised by the trademarks of fully mature fruit: fresh, elegant perfume and aromatic complexity.
