Description
A traditional product of Regione Abruzzo and the Marches, heated wine has an alcoholic content varying according to the production method and the ageing period. It can be dry or sweet for the presence of sugar remains, but it maintains a sapid aftertaste. It has a characteristic color, going from amber red to garnet red, and an intense perfume. It derives from the processing of must obtained from the pressing of white and/or red grapes which, poured into a cauldron and boiled, concentrates of 40-70%, becoming a product appreciated as a dessert for its particular tasting features. The ageing period in wooden barrels is essential and can last for over 30-40 years.

Product Availability: It is for sale all year round, although quantities are limited.
