Fratelee Barba Vinyafranka Montay-pulchee-arho da broot-zoh
This wine is made from the Montepulciano grape and is from the region of Abruzzo, on the eastern side of Italy. It is medium-bodied and has flavours and aromas of black cherries with floral and minerally (stony) hints.
Wonderful red berry aromas on the nose lead to a big palate with depth from the French oak. A fantastic example of a well refined and balanced Montepulciano.

Intense
For people who enjoy big, bold wines that really pack a punch. For many who enjoy similar wines it’s a case of the bigger the better!
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo has long been a staple value red in Italian trattorias in the UK, but the appellation has in recent years seen several ambitious winemakers push the boundaries of quality ever higher. This has resulted in some fantastic accolades for the region's top wines in the Gambero Rosso, and one such winning producer is Fratelli Barba.
Our buying team reviewed a number of Abruzzo's best wineries at Vinitaly in 2010 and found Barba's wines to represent the best proposition both stylistically and commercially. This was underlined by a further blind tasting comparison back in our Primrose Hill office. The Colle Morino pair are great value too with plenty of fruit and local character.
