Tasting- 2010 Cortenova Montepulciano d' Abruzzo

Name: Cortenova Montepulciano d' Abruzzo
Variety: Montepulciano d' Abruzzo
Region: Abruzzo
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95

Winery 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: The wine has a dark cranberry, ruby color that is nice. The nose of this wine is a pleasing bouquet of butter popcorn, plum, and currant. On the palate, this wine is smooth, has sweet fruit hints on the mid-palate, and some spice along with a dry finish.
