Amoterra Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2024

Reliable, easy-going, and great value - if that's your idea of how Montepulciano d'Abruzzo should be, you're in the right place. This one's organic too, from the Adriatic side of central Italy, and it's all about juicy berry fruit, gentle spice and plenty of freshness. No oak, no fuss - just a soft, supple red with good concentration and not a rough edge in sight. Vibrant and fruit-forward with a smooth, satisfying finish.

Cracking with spaghetti all'Amatriciana, a proper Napoli-style pizza, or a board of cured meats and aged Pecorino. Bold, salty, tomatoey things suit it well - though it's just as enjoyable all by itself.

Amoterra, meaning 'love the land', is a labour of love by four Italian wine veterans. Their mission: to shine a light on the best sustainable wines from central Italy that speak of place and offer bang for your buck. These seasoned pros, with a century of combined experience, know a thing or two about Italian wine. They've sourced an impressive range of organic gems, from vibrant Trebbiano d'Abruzzo to crowd-pleasing Montepulciano.
