Il Faggio 2007

Il Faggio (with a soft g) is the Italian for beech tree, of which there are acres and acres in the national park of Abruzzo. This is a wild and woolly part of Italy on the east coast, that is barely on the tourist route. I’ve had some fabulous times visiting wine makers here where I’ve been made really welcome and asked to join family parties. And I’ve a soft spot for the wines too!
The Montepulciano grape makes fruity, deep flavoured reds, and Il Faggio is especially full of berry flavours and easy, rounded tannins. Great to drink by itself or with pork chop, vegetarian casserole or pizza.
