Montepulciano d`Abruzzo DOC 2023 Jasci Organic Wine

Jasci Donatello

Abruzzo stretches from the Adriatic high into the mountains. This creates very different winegrowing conditions, requiring different varieties according to location, while cultivation methods also vary in places. The region’s typical grapes are Montepulciano for red wines and Trebbiano for whites.

One of our southernmost winegrowers, “Donatella Jasci”, comes from Vasto in Abruzzo. His estate of around 30 ha lies directly on the Adriatic. At around 200 m above sea level, the family around Donatella Jasci has grown organic wines for almost 30 years. His father began converting to organic cultivation in 1980. Jasci wines benefit both from decades of accumulated experience and from the special climate. Under the influence of humid sea air, wonderful Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grows here, for example.

Atteso is certainly special, made from the indigenous white Pecorino variety. The Pecorino grape owes its name to its pale colour, almost white, like sheep’s wool (Italian: pecore). It is grown mainly in Abruzzo, Lazio, the Marche and Umbria. The soft, harmonious wines are full of fruit aromas, apricot and yellow fruits, with delicate acidity.
