Tasting - Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Name: Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Variety: 100% Montepulcino d'Abruzzo
Region: Montepulcino
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: 6.95
Shop 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: This wine had such an extreme fruity smell but not distinctly one fruit to me. Upon tasting, it was very dry but sweet at the right places. I usually don't like red wine but this was a great red wine in that it was still dry but just sweet enough for me to still like. I would love to try this with food and see what its like.
I tried this without food on its own.
