Expert Notes

M & M teamed up with-the infamous Valle Reale Winery under the directorship of Leonardo Pizzolo. Excellent quality Price Ratio in kosher market and certified organic. Botteotto means barrel number eight and was the barrel that originally contained the wine that inspired the final blend. The grapes for Botteotto are harvested by hand and the various vineyards are vinified separately.

Region

Although the rediscovery of ancient varieties is always welcome, the focus in Abruzzo remains firmly on Montepulciano. It’s a versatile grape, in the sense that it can give pleasure in numerous guises. It can be vinified and aged in stainless steel to give a simple, attractive wine with freshness and transparency of fruit. If cropped low, it can be aged in casks or barriques – even new barriques – to create wines of altogether greater depth, concentration and complexity. The oaked Montepulcianos are not really wines for everyday drinking, being too dense and powerful, but are superb winter warmers. Some can develop gamey aromas with age; others remain on a plateau, displaying primary fruit for years. Montepulciano does evolve with age, but it’s not a variety that demands bottle age to show complexity.

Varietal


Cabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.

Food Pairing

Perfect when paired with charcuterie board, meatball in tomato sauce grilled meat and chops.

Tasting Notes

Intense salmon-pink in color, with generous aromas of sour cherry, strawberry jam & wild herbs. This wine is medium-boiled & fresh, with layers of bright fruit flavor, brisk acidity, & defining minerality that culminate in a long & balanced finish.
