Tasting: Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo



Name: Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Variety: 100% Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Region: None listed
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: Smelling this wine, I got a very whimsical, creamy scent. Tasting it, I found the tannins to be noticeable yet very unobstrusive. The dominant flavor was fresh-cut grass with an extremely subtle citrus mixed in. The finish was very sharp and short.

Food: None
