Villa Gemma
MONTEPULCIANO D’ABRUZZO DOC RISERVA
The flagship of the company is the line that best embodies the style and taste of winemaker Gianni Masciarelli. Austere and important, Montepulciano D’Abruzzo Villa Gemma Rosso provides an unprecedented interpretation of this great autochthonous vine, helping it to be included in the map of the world viticulture that counts. Next to it, as if to balance so much complexity and body, two fresh and lively wines: Villa Gemma Bianco and Villa Gemma Cerasuolo.
