Tasting -- Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo


Name: Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Variety: 100% Montepulciano d'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: Definitely a buttery and oaky smell but not to over bearing. Tastes pretty buttery like popcorn. Some odd hints of clove come through as well.

I did not eat while tasting this wine.
