Vino Rosso d'Italia Riva Sud 2021 Cantine Truentum

The Truentum winery, located near the Tronto river on the border between Abruzzo and Marche, celebrates Abruzzo's winemaking excellence. Its wines, characterized by a unique taste, benefit from the mild climate and varied soil of Abruzzo, enriched by the reliefs of the Apennines, the Maiella, the Gran Sasso and the Laga mountains. The ten-hectare vineyard in Controguerra, Teramo, exploits limestone-clayey and sandy-clayey soils, ideal for high-quality wines, between the mountains and the Adriatic coast.

The blend from which Riva Sud is born is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and Montepulciano grapes, with a manual harvest carried out at the end of October. Soft pressing of the bunches and classic red vinification precede a 12-month refinement in French oak barrels.

It is characterized by an intense ruby red color with violet reflections. The nose is rich in intense aromas of berries, violet flowers, spices and woody notes due to barrel aging. On the palate, it is decisive and full-bodied, with intense notes of berries, well-integrated tannins and a long, full finish. Notes of chocolate and coffee enrich the long persistence on the palate.

It is a wine that pairs perfectly with beef, barbecue, a cheese platter and rich and tasty first courses.
