La Valentina Spelt Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva 2018

La Valentina's 'Spelt' Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva is an award winning (Tre Bicchieri - Gambero Rosso) red wine made from 100% Montepulciano grapes. The fruit is sourced from fifteen hectares of vineyards with some vines now over 40 years old. After fermentation the wine spends 16 months part in a combination of new and second-fill large Slavonian oak barrels, barriques and tonneaux. After the final blend is assembled the wine is refined further with a couple of months in 25 hl oak Slavonian barrels and almost a year in bottle. Spelt is a complex and well structured Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva perfect with some bottle age. Deep and intense red in colour it offers up aromas of wild rose, violets, crisp red currants and liquorice. The palate is voluptuous and velvety with polished tannins and superb length. Perfect served with roast lamb chops, grilled meats and pasta dishes with ragù sauce.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
