Montepulciano d’Abruzzo ‘Le Murate’
Italy, Abruzzo
Montepulciano d’Abruzzo.
Intense ruby hues segue into a nose of sour cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant followed by rose petals and a touch of black pepper. The velvety tannins accompany a plush palate. The rich flavor partners perfectly with the acid backbone to bring freshness and length. Recommended with mature cheeses and with first courses with savory meat-based, carbonara sauces. Also delightful with mains of roast or barbecued meat.
