Barone Cornacchia Montepulciano D'Abruzzo

Montepulciano

Abruzzo, Italy

Cornacchia is an historic estate with its roots in the 17th century. Today it is run by Filippo and Caterina Cornacchia, a young brother and sister team who have brought new energy and vision to the winery. They recently completed the conversion to certified organic viticulture. They currently bottle about one third of the crop, selling the rest off in bulk. With a grape as prolific as Montepulciano, it is very important that yields, through special selection in the vineyard, are kept to a minimum.
