ROSARIA

Rosaria is the Montepulciano red of the Petrini estate in Spoltore — a wine of significant olfactory impact that carries the full personality of Abruzzo's most celebrated indigenous red grape in an expression shaped by the particular character of the coastal hills between Pescara and Chieti, the strong Adriatic sea breeze, and the estate's carbon-neutral, ICEA-certified organic farming philosophy.

The Montepulciano grape is one of Italy's most expressive indigenous red varieties — capable of producing wines of deep colour, rich fruit, and genuine complexity in the right conditions. At the Petrini estate, where the commitment to minimal intervention and careful individual grape selection ensures that the natural structure and characteristics of the grape are preserved rather than manipulated, Montepulciano achieves an expression of genuine territorial authenticity.

The wine presents as ruby red of intense colour — the visual depth that signals a wine of concentration and seriousness. The olfactory impact is significant, with fruity scents of unique complexity at the nose's core, complemented by flowers and spices in the background that add aromatic dimension without obscuring the fruit. This layering of fruit, flower, and spice is characteristic of well-made Montepulciano from this specific Adriatic coastal zone.

The flavours at tasting are persistent and elegant, with a very solid structured body that reflects both the Montepulciano grape's inherent structural capacity and the specific mineral character of the Petrini estate's ICEA-certified organic terroir. The Adriatic sea breeze that shapes the estate's character contributes a particular freshness that prevents the wine's structural weight from becoming heavy.
