TCD OPINION
Between the best three Montepulciano of Abruzzo of the year. We are talking about a four stars year considered excellent.
All the men of this wine making company were killed during the Great War so the family business passed to Rachele, named Testarossa for her red hair. Rachele became the head of her company, and started to produce a wine expresses her beauty and strong character. This wine is the most renowned of the entire company and the techniques of Rachele “Testarossa” are in still used today. These wines have a strong tradition of excellence
