Tasting notes
Clenched powerful red natural wine with plenty of character. Deep cherry colour with bright coloured tears. Nose of blackberry preserve, bitter chocolate and fresh coffee with notes of almond as it develops. Powerful opening taste, perfectly dosed between tannins, acidity and mouth filling, lots of minerality in the very long finish. Fantastic for example with matured red beef and ground game, even with vegetable gratin and fresh white mould cheeses. Up to five years, decant an hour in advance. Serving temperature: 16°C.
Wine Story
The vineyards of the Fabulas winery are located in the municipality of Pretoro, 602 metres above sea level with its back to the Majella National Park. You can really feel the in-flow of the mountain massif that gives its name to the park. On the front side, just 35 km away, is the Adriatic Sea. The climate is strongly influenced by these two elements, with strong temperature differences between day and night.Fabulas is a collaboration between a few farmers, friends and a fantastic winemaker. Their attention and care goes not only to winemaking, but also to the earth. The sheep provide natural and intelligent control of the spontaneous native flora and natural fertilisation, bringing the animal spirit into the vineyard. Mechanical tillage is kept to a minimum. The hillside location of the vineyards makes it possible to understand that at the level of plant health, few interven-tions are needed and only related to the use of copper and sulphur when absolutely necessary.
