Madonnabruna Portese – 2018

Marche IGT Rosso
Organic
Montepulciano, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

In the Italian region of Marche, near the seaside town of Porto San Giorgio, we find the Petracci family. Back in ’67, Ferruccio Petracci bought a small 13-hectare estate with the dream of planting vines – a dream turned reality by his son Paolo.

Any good winemaker will agree that a great wine starts in the vineyard, and the Petraccis take that philosophy to an extreme, making Portese only in years of superior vintages. It’s an epic wine, with cabernet and merlot adding further power and depth to the montepulciano’s blackberry and smoke. Drink now for the fruit or wait a few years (up to 2033).
