According to Pepe, a fundamental element which affects the quality of wine is how healthy the grapes are, for this reason no chemical substances are used and the highest attention is paid both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in steel tanks, afterwards the wine is bottled by hand without any filtration and aged in cement for 24 months. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2018 Emidio Pepe has an intense and dark ruby color; on the nose it gives hints of fresh fruit when young which will be greatly enriched with the evolution with aromas of graphite, earth and underbrush.
