De Fermo Concrete Vino Rosso

De Fermo Concrete Vino Rosso is a testament to the raw, unfiltered beauty of natural winemaking in Abruzzo. Produced by De Fermo, a small estate that practices biodynamic and organic farming, this wine reflects a deep respect for tradition while embracing a forward-thinking, minimal-intervention approach. Sourced primarily from Montepulciano grapes, which thrive in the hills of Abruzzo, the wine is spontaneously fermented with native yeasts and aged in its namesake concrete tanks. This choice of vessel preserves the purity of the fruit while allowing for slow oxygenation, enhancing texture and complexity without the influence of oak.  In the glass, Concrete presents a deep garnet hue, with an aromatic profile that bursts with ripe dark cherries, bramble berries, and stone fruit, interwoven with florals, Mediterranean herbs, and a subtle spiciness. The wine’s vibrant acidity keeps it fresh and lively, while its soft tannins and slightly rustic earthiness lend depth and character. Despite its natural and unfiltered nature, it remains well-balanced and refined, offering an authentic expression of Montepulciano that is both easy to drink and complex enough to intrigue seasoned wine lovers.  Enjoyed with food, De Fermo’s Concrete Vino Rosso is a easy companion to a wide range of dishes. Its interplay of fruit with a firmer backbone make it a perfect match for grilled meats, hearty pasta with tomato-based sauces, or rustic aged Italian cheeses. Whether enjoyed young or given a bit of time to mature, this wine embodies the energy and soul of Abruzzo, making it a must-try for those who appreciate natural, artisanal winemaking.
