This is an interesting 100% Montepulciano D'abruzzo. Ruby in color, clear and bright. The nose is filled with cherries and some balsamic vinegar. Medium bodied. On the palate, the cherries come thru along with some tart acidity. Like most Italian wines, this begs for some food. Spaghetti alla Chitarra with a nice meat sauce would work well. Drink over the next few years. At $15, this is a very nice value and makes for a nice bottle with a weekday dinner.
