Bold & Floral

Located on the hills that rise from the Adriatic Sea and neighbouring the coastal town of Vasto in Abruzzo, the Jasci family has been growing grapes and producing wine for three generations. In 1980, the family decided to convert the farm to organic, becoming one of the first ten wineries in all of Italy to be certified. 

This vegan-certified wine is made from hand-picked Montelpulciano grapes cultivated at 250 meters in the sunny hills of Abruzzo. The healthy grapes macerate on the skins for 15 days and age in concrete tanks. Expect intense floral aromas of violet on the nose that intermingle with fruity notes of strawberry and black currant, backed with fragrant hints of cinnamon and vanilla. On the palate is full-bodied, round and with a long fruity aftertaste.

This bold Montepulciano d'Abruzzo pairs well with flavourful dishes, such as hoisin and balsamic glazed lamb chops or seared mushrooms with garlic and thyme.

About the Winery

Azienda Agricola Jasci

Located on the hills that rise 250 meters above sea level from the Adriatic Sea just above the seaside resort town of Vasto in Abruzzo, here the Jasci family has been growing grapes and producing wine for three generations. Starting In the early 1960s, Pasquale and Maria turned the focus of their farm to producing estate wines.

In 1980, their son Giuseppe decided to convert the farm to organic, becoming one of the first ten wineries in all of Italy to be certified. Today led by grandson Donatello Jasci and his wife Piera, the family is the second largest single grower in all of the region. Donatello’s approach in the cellar is consistent with his farming: clean and simple. The wines see little or no oak and have a purity of flavor that is rare at the price. In addition to his duties at the winery, Donatello Jasci has served as President of the local Organic Growers’ Consortium.

Médaille d'Argent

90 points (2021) - John Szabo, MS

Clean and pleasantly perfumed, lightly floral, with a Mediterranean orange peel twist, Jasci's 2021 organic-certified montepulciano is a plump and appealing wine, fruity, smooth, well-balanced, widely appealing no doubt, And substance it has, too. Nicely done all around. Tasted April 2024.

90 points (2021) - Sara d'Amato

From a family who helped to pioneer organic farming in Italy and one of the first 10 wineries to be certified in the country in the 1980s, this juicy, delicately spiced montepulciano is grown at 210 meters in elevation with a southeastern exposure. Finely crafted, the palate features a savoury edge along with generous, plump black cherry and plummy fruit. Tannins are a bit rustic but the acids are pleasantly refreshing. Notes of laurel and juniper linger on the finish of very good length. A great weeknight pairing for pasta Bolognese or smoked pork chops. Tasted April 2024.
