Tasting Notes
La Quercia (The Oak). This Montepulciano is a great example of what happens when you match low-yield winemaking expertise with a prolific growing zone, and constantly cut, cut, cut back the vines. Made by winemaker Antonio Lamona, the result is one of the best quality, most expressive and balanced Montepulcianos around. Full-bodied, smooth, and packed with notes of blackberry, wild cherry, chocolate and spice. This is a flavourful versatile wine that will pair with anything you put on the table .
Food Pairings
Abruzzese specialties such as spaghetti alla chitarra with spicy tomato sauce, porchetta, sausage and peppers. For the adventurous cook, make Timballo, a multilayered lasagna type dish containing pasta, rice, cheese meat and various other ingredients. It was featured prominently in the 1996 film Big Night.
