Vintage Wine Cellar Tastings: Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo




Name Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Category: Montepulciano

Region: Abruzzo, Italy   

Year: 2013

Price: $7.95

Winery Review:  Wild berry, chopped mint, sun baked earth and violet aromas meld together on this solid savory red. The juicy straightforward palate doles out ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry, anise and cinnamon alongside chewy tannins.

My Review: This full-bodied red wine had a beautiful red and purple color to it. It had a lot going on with it since it was pretty flavorful. It had a rich fruit flavor and was pretty bold at the same time. It was a little dry but the flavor made me get past the tannins. I would love to pair this wine up with steak.
