Fratelli Barba ‘Le Salare’ Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is a beloved Italian classic, found in Italian restaurants across the country. Known for its soft and approachable style, the Fratelli Barba version stands out with its rich and complex flavors of dark cherries, ripe red fruits, plums, spices, and almonds, finishing with a long, mineral note. It may be a cliché, but it truly pairs wonderfully with pizza and pasta.

Fratelli Barba, a family-run business established in the Abruzzo region in the 18th century, operates an estate spanning 684 hectares that produces olive oil, dairy products, orchard fruits, and wine. Over the past 25 years, Giovanni Barba has focused on maintaining high quality in every aspect of their winemaking. The cellar, built in 1991, undergoes continuous modernization to improve quality year after year.
