Bakán
Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOCG

The Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOCG of Cantine Torri originates in the area of Martinsicuro, in the province of Teramo. The vine is almost fifty years old and grows at an altitude of 290 meters above sea level, extraordinarily exposed to the south-south-east.

100% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grapes, manually selected from the row and harvested around half of October, from certified organic farming.

It is vinified in temperature-controlled steel vats, and at the end of malolactic fermentation, the wine will rest in cement vats for at least 6 months, then mature in large 50hl oak casks for the next 18 months and age in bottles for a further period of no less than 6 months.

Bakán Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOCG

It takes some time for this wine to open up and reveal itself. That’s why we recommend opening it a little before enjoying it, at a temperature between 16 and 18 degrees, in a large glass with a wide rim.

It is excellent with well-structured and tasty dishes: aperitifs, starters, first courses, vegetarian food, red meat, and medium and long matured cheeses.

An Italian-style starter, pasta alla carbonara, barbecued leg of lamb, omelette with livers, or a mature pecorino from Abruzzo.

We have paired it with a baked Camembert.

Grape variety characteristics

The vine has found wide diffusion in Abruzzo and along the Adriatic coast. The variety is fairly homogeneous, the differential characters concern the shape of the bunch, the presence of green millerandage before maturation, the ripening time, and the organoleptic characteristics of the product.

It gives an intense ruby red colored wine, with a characteristic, vinous scent, dry, fruity, tannic, not acidic, of good body structure, velvety, rightly alcoholic.
