TEN
VINTAGES
BODEGA COLLEFRISIO
TIME STANDING STILL • ABRUZZO
"Ten stories, one soul: the ultimate expression of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo in a symphony that defies the calendar."
The Immortality of Terroir
Ten Vintages by Collefrisio is a bold project that redefines luxury in the Abruzzo region. While most wineries seek to capture a moment in time, Collefrisio has selected the most exclusive reserves from its last ten harvests to create a wine of absolute harmony. This is a notably dry red wine that offers endless layers: the power of ripe fruit, the elegance of barrel aging, and a tannic structure that only time—and expert blending—can impart. Each bottle is a collector's item representing the historic legacy of the Girolamo family.
