Malamour Red — Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC: The Soul of Italy in a Glass

Malamour Red is a 100% Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC, an authentic Italian red wine crafted in the sun-soaked hills of central Italy. Velvety, balanced, and effortlessly food-friendly, this is the wine you open when the meal matters — or when the company does. Born at the table and shared with friends, Malamour Red captures the generous spirit of Abruzzo in every bottle.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red with garnet edges, Malamour Red opens with a rich bouquet of ripe black cherries, plums, and blackberries, layered with subtle hints of violet, sweet spice, and a touch of earthy smokiness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and silky, with soft, well-integrated tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant finish. A red wine that is rustic yet refined, approachable yet deeply expressive.

Vinification

After destemming and crushing, the skins remain in contact with the must for 10 to 15 days at a controlled temperature — 15°C for the first 3 days, then 28–30°C to ensure optimal extraction. The wine then ages in stainless steel tanks where alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place, allowing the tannins to soften and the aromatic profile to fully develop. Stabilized, filtered and bottled with care, Malamour Red is crafted to express the purity of the Montepulciano grape and the terroir of Abruzzo.
