Winemaker Notes
The Story
Francesco Massetti is the new prominent name in Abruzzo viticulture. His cellar is located in Colonnella, technically in Abruzzo but very close to the border with the Marche. The winery's production is focused on the native Trebbiano and Montepulciano varieties. Regarding Montepulciano, in addition to the ambiguity of the name (often confused with the tuscan Montepulciano wine obtained from Sangiovese grapes) there are other problems linked to the wine production of the area such as the presence of large cooperative wineries which influence both the regulations and the sales. Francesco's goal is to ennoble the name of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and distinguish itself from the multitude of labels that tend to standardize and debase the value of a vine with great, still unexpressed potential.
