Tasting - Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo


Name: Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Variety: Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Region: Abruzzo

Country: Italy

Year: 2010

Price: $6.95

Shop Review: Deep ruby red color with violet highlights and a pleasant and fruity bouquet. Full bodied, soft tannins and good acidity. Excellent with pasta dishes and red meats.

My Review: This was a very full, red wine.  Surprisingly, this wine had a sweet taste, and a floral hint in the nose.  The wine tasted buttery, making it a smooth red wine.

With Food?: No
