Masseria Coste di Brenta was established in 2004 in Lanciano, Abruzzo by Augusto Tano and Anna Giovanna Di Ludovico. Along with their 3 children, Augusto and Anna renovated their vineyards and cellar, converting to organic farming and winemaking to better showcase the quality of their fruit and soils. In a region known for estates with large production, Masseria Coste di Brenta brings a refreshing experience and love for the land, passed down from one generation to the next, with an emphasis on small production of high quality wines.
This organic wine is made from 100% Montepulciano grapes grown on soils of calcareous clay and a bit of obsidian. ALl grapes are hand-harvested and spend 20 days on the skins. 70% of the wine is aged 10-12 months in French oak (2nd and 3rd use) while 30 % is aged in stainless steel then bottled and aged a further 6 months. Ruby red in color with deep garnet reflections. On the nose there is bright red fruit plus a touch of vanilla and clove spice. The palate is full-bodied, well integrated and balanced with fresh cherry flavors, spice and earth. Enjoy with wood-fired pizza.
