Clear dusty garnet color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate covered dried cherry, rose petal, beeswax, and hint of sandalwood with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, compelling, medium-long finish conveying notes of bing cherry, mulberry, cedar shavings, and leather and garden herbs with coating, grippy, drying, medium, well-integrated tannins. A chewy, even-tempered Italian red that will shine at the table with meaty pasta fare.

Serve in a Zinfandel Wine Glass
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a red wine from the Abruzzo region made exclusively from the Montepulciano grape. Often light purple in color with aromas of blackberry and other black fruits, most examples are medium-bodied with medium-weight tannins and distinctive black pepper and spice notes.

Most examples of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo are made by large cooperative producers; these wines are light and offer simple pleasure. Enjoy these wines young and fresh.

A handful of smaller producers have begun to craft more full-bodied, age worthy versions of this wine; many of these are aged in small oak barrels. The best examples from traditional producers can stand the test of time, as they drink well for twenty to thirty years.
