Nicodemi Terrana Montepulciano d’Abruzzo | Bodega 1830’s Favourite Wine
Nicodemi Terrana Montepulciano d’Abruzzo – Our Go-To Bottle
Whenever someone asks us to pick the wine that best sums up Bodega 1830, it's an easy choice: Nicodemi Terrana Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. It’s bold, balanced, and perfectly keeps up with our small-plates vibe.
What Makes It Stand Out
This organic Montepulciano comes from the rugged hills of Abruzzo, hand-harvested in clay–limestone soil on slopes just above the Adriatic. It’s a terroir-driven wine that feels fresh and authentic.
Wine Enthusiast gave it 90 points, noting its floral aroma of peonies and violets combined with deep blackberry and a cool, mineral edge — the kind of wine that’s both easy to drink and interesting. www.wine
Tasting Notes
- Nose: A perfume of violets, peonies, and dark berries wrapped in wet-slate earthiness.
- Palate: Plush and dark-fruited — think blackberries, blueberries, lightly spiced licorice — with supple tannins and lively acidity.
- Finish: Smooth, balanced, and slightly peppery — a real crowd-pleaser with depth.
Why It Works at Bodega
- Versatile Pairings: Its medium body and earthy brightness let it pair beautifully with dishes like lamb koftas, spicy chorizo croquetas, smoky pork belly, or even creamy cheese plates.
- Everyday Elegance: At around €13–15 a bottle, guests get something unmistakably good without hesitation at the table.
- Organic & Artisanal: It fits right with our message of local sourcing, thoughtfulness, and small-batch quality.
In Our Words
This is the red we reach for on a busy night — it’s bold without being heavy, personality-rich but never overblown, and always goes with everything on our menu. It’s simple and it’s smart.
Swing by Bodega 1830, ask for the Terrana, and let its blackberry perfume and slate edge speak for itself. Trust us — it’s the wine our team loves to share.
