Description

Torre Zambra is one of the oldest wineries in the Abruzzo region, located high on the hills in Villamagna. The sea is just a stones-throw away, giving this area the perfect climate for creating beautiful, aromatic wines.

Their 'Madia' is a fantastic expression of Montepulciano. Bursting with juiciness, it's the perfect food-friendly wine to share around the table with friends and family over a meal.

Super easy drinking, it's sure to be a crowd pleaser and your new go-to when you're not sure what to pair with dinner.

"Dark chocolate, spice, black cherry, rich and earthy, orange peel and mint. It’s a rich wine, lots of bitter dark chocolate, blackberry and dried fruit and herbs, thick furry tannin with a black tea quality, savoury but ample in fruit, dense and throaty on a finish that’s packed with tannin, offering good length. Quite robust and chewy, but a good wine that has plenty of personality."

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo "Madia" is a perfect example of a traditional Abruzzese wine. The deep, intense pitch black hue, with its typical purplish glints, is due to Montepulciano grapes, rigorously selected on the hills of Villamagna, Abruzzo, at an altitude of about 200 metres. The unique south-west aspecting of the vines and the limestone and clay soils, together with a lucky position between seas and mountains, guarantee the excellent structure and complexity of this enjoyable red wine. The grapes are picked in the first ten days of October, and consequently the maceration in steel tanks at controlled temperature allows to extract the color from the skins. The wine then matures for a year in steel vats, and after the refinement continues for three months in the bottle.
