The Black Grape

Some fruits tell the story of a season, others tell the story of a land. Montepulciano grapes belong to the latter. More than any other fruit, they speak of Abruzzo, of its hills, of the late-summer grape harvests and of recipes handed down from generation to generation.

For D’Alessandro Confetture, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grapes are not simply a raw material: they are part of our history. This is the fruit behind Scrucchijata, one of the most iconic preparations of the Abruzzo tradition, made by separating skins and seeds by hand to achieve a unique texture and an unmistakable flavour.

Our black grape jam captures all the aromatic richness of this extraordinary fruit. An intense, elegant preserve deeply tied to our roots, bringing the authentic character of the Abruzzo countryside to the table.

APPEARANCE: deep purple with garnet highlights reminiscent of freshly pressed must. The texture is rich and velvety, enhanced by the natural nuances of the fruit.
ON THE NOSE: an intense, complex aroma with notes of ripe grapes, fresh must and subtle hints that recall the grape harvest.
ON THE PALATE: rounded and lingering, with a natural sweetness balanced by a pleasant freshness. The finish is long and full of nuances that recall the authentic character of freshly picked grapes.
