Rosso Giara is made from 100% Montepulciano d'Abruzzo sourced from Cantina Indigeno's oldest vineyard, planted approximately 35 years ago in the hills around Montorio al Vomano, Teramo province. The vines grow on stony limestone soils at roughly 300 meters elevation, where the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea create a climate that swings between warm, dry summers and cool nights that preserve acidity in the fruit.
Grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a combination of whole-bunch skin contact and partial destemming with carbonic maceration for approximately two weeks in open vats. Fermentation is spontaneous, using only indigenous yeasts and no temperature control. After pressing, the wine ages for eight months on its lees in 800-liter Tuscan ceramic amphorae. It is bottled unfiltered, unfined, and with no added sulfites.
In the glass, the wine shows deep ruby with purple tints. The nose leads with dark berries, black cherry, red currant, and earthy undertones, with a faint bramble quality. The palate is juicy and medium-bodied, with light but present tannins, lively acidity, and a finish that carries hazelnut and a touch of tobacco.
