Tasting - Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Name: Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Variety: Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Region: Abruzzo
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95
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: I thought this wine had a very fruity smell. I could taste a light spice quality to the wine and could definitely feel the tannins - a very dry wine that I wish I had food with.

Food? I did not have food with this wine.
