Variety: 100% Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Region: n/a

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.(02/28/2013- Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg, VA)

My review:This red wine has a raspberry and an apple nose. I left my mouth extremely dry. I really would have liked to try this with a heavier meal, like pasta. I did not have any food with this wine tasting.
