2022 Idi di Marzo 1910 Terre di Chieti Rosso IGT (750ml)

The 2022 Idi di Marzo 1910 Rosso IGT arrives in a 750ml glass bottle calibrated for direct pour or aging up to five years. Harvested from the Terra di Chieti IGT appellation in central Abruzzo, the wine reflects a growing season defined by steady warmth and adequate rainfall, conditions that concentrate phenolic compounds while preserving natural acidity.

Tasting Profile

Nose notes include blackcurrant, prune, and violet alongside layers of dried marjoram, cured meat, and spiced citrus. The palate presents medium weight with firmly integrated tannins and a straightforward malolactic conversion that rounds the edges. A stony undertone emerges on the finish, followed by residual fruit sweetness that resolves quickly into a dry, savory closure.

Food Pairings

The wine’s protein‑friendly acidity and moderate ethanol level complement slow‑braised meats, particularly beef cheeks in tomato‑based sauces, game‑heavy stews, and rosemary‑seasoned pork chops. Hard, aged cheeses such as Parmigiano‑Reggiano or Pecorino di Fossa balance the tannic architecture, while charred vegetable preparations and truffle‑finished risottos mirror the earthward aromatics. Allow twenty minutes of breathing to soften structural tightness before service, and pour at 62–65°F (16–18°C) to maintain equilibrium between tannin grip and aromatic expressiveness.
