Barone Cornacchia Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022

The Cornacchia family quotes the ancient Romans on their label of Barone Cornacchia 'Casanova' Montepulciano, saying 'Denique apertos Bacchus amat Colles' (Bacchus Loves the Open Hills) which, given the fact that the Abruzzo region is comprised of 65% mountains and 35% hills, and blessed with one of the most prolific and popular grape varietals, Montepulciano, this quote could not be more appropriate. Barone Cornacchia specializes in Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.

Since the times of Giovanni Cornacchia in 1488, the Casanova area was owned by this family, situated in the Torri area of Torano Nuovo, where the family property of the Barone Cornacchia company stands to this day. Today it is many, many generations later of Cornacchia's who own and manage the estate, led by sister and brother team : Baroness Caterina Cornacchia and Baron Filippo Cornacchia. They are steadfastly committed to certified organic viticulture, producing wines from 100% estate grapes, and showcasing the authenticity and individuality of Abruzzo wines. 

This 'Casanova' Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is the winery's classic wine that folks say tastes like 'Italy in a Glass'...
