Masciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Masciarelli is the largest organically farmed Estate in Italy. This everyday charmer is a nice marriage of old and new world styles.

Cherries, blackberries and chocolate round out the palate. This is a great "house wine" to have around for meals and friends. Winemaking Details: Stainless Steel Tank Fermentation
Colle Moro Sparkling Pecorino
This is a lovely, gently sparkling wine from the Abruzzo region of Italy. Quite rich with white peach on the nose.
