Sommelier's advice:
∙ Grilled beef or lamb, pork ribs, pizza and tomato-based meat pasta.
∙ Avoid: Delicate raw seafood, very spicy dishes and overly sweet sauces
Vineyards:
Clay soils with moderate limestone content, approximately 200–400 m elevation.
Winemaking process:
The grapes come from hillside vineyards across Abruzzo, from San Martino sulla Marrucina at 400 metres down towards the coast. They ferment in stainless steel at 28–30°C with 15–20 days on the skins, and the wine matures in steel to keep the fruit bright. Masciarelli has made this wine since 1981, its very first vintage.
Interesting notes:
First produced in 1981; part of the winery’s original Linea Classica range.
