JK.14 Pasetti Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOP 2022

Sourced from the sun-drenched hillsides of Abruzzo, this Montepulciano is produced in partnership with the renowned Pasetti family—fifth-generation winemakers celebrated for their deep roots in the region. The 2022 vintage is made from hand-harvested grapes grown in calcareous clay soils, fermented in stainless steel and matured in large oak casks to soften the tannins and enhance its depth. It’s a quintessential expression of Montepulciano—bold yet balanced, with true Italian soul.

Bouquet
Inviting and expressive, the nose bursts with dark cherry, blackberry compote, and dried herbs. Subtle hints of leather, cocoa, and sweet spice add warmth and complexity.

Palate
Full-bodied and velvety, with generous dark fruit flavours layered over notes of balsamic, liquorice, and soft oak spice. The tannins are supple and rounded, giving way to a smooth, lingering finish. This is Montepulciano at its most approachable and authentic.

Food Pairing
Perfect with rich pasta dishes like pappardelle with wild boar ragu, aubergine parmigiana, or grilled lamb chops. Also lovely with hard cheeses and rustic woodfired pizza.

Cellaring
Drinking beautifully now but can age gracefully for 4–5 years. Decant for 30 minutes before serving to unlock its full depth.
