Tasting - Cortenova Montepulciano d’Abruzzo







Name: Cortenova
Variety: Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Region: Abruzzo
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95












Shop 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: Another Earthy and fruity scent. Floral flavors I can't quite pinpoint. Also lots of tannins. Would probably go well with a creamy, smooth cheese..on its own, it was still good though!
