Tasting - Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo


Name: Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Variety: Montepulciano 
Region: Montepulciano d Abruzzo 
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95

Winery Review: 100% Montepulciano d' Abruzzo 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: The smell was smoky, jammy and had hints of berries.  Bold tannins, dry mid-palate and it had an acidic after taste.  I did not enjoy this wine and I did not have it with food.
