With its head-turning packaging and lush, food-friendly wines, Nevio embodies the spirit of Italy’s rugged Abruzzo region.

TERROIR & VINTAGE NOTES

Nestled between the Adriatic Sea to the east and the Apennines Mountains to the west, the areas of Vasto and Crecchio offer the perfect climate for highlighting all the exceptional characteristics of the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grape.

Winemaking & Aging

Hand-picked grapes from old vines (at least 30 years) are vinified employing traditional methods, including a long maceration of the skins at controlled temperature. The wine is refined in stainless steel tanks followed by a stay in large casks.

Tasting Notes

Intense ruby red with violet and purple nuances. Red fruit, mulberry, and sour cherry preserve aromas with notes of vanilla, cocoa, leather, licorice, and black pepper. Rich and full bodied on the palate, with long lingering taste and ripe, balanced tannins.
