Montepulciano d' Abruzzo 2006
Country: Italy | Region: Abruzzo
Color: Red | Winery: Villa Medoro
Tre Bicchieri
This is a big wine that opens with a stunning sappy red fruit nose that features baked red berries, ripe red plums and a fistful of herbs. In the mouth the wine is lush and soft at first with red plum and cherry fruit, earth and tar and bit of sap. A great wine for steaks on the grill or roasted meats.
"Villa Medoro doesn’t rest on its laurels. This lovely Fontanelle d’Atri winery has quickly reached the top of the competitive Colline Teramane district. Credit to the owner, Federica Morricone, her efficient winemaking team and the great, scrupulously tended vineyards. We were again impressed this year by the wines we tasted. Surprisingly, Three Glasses went to the 2006 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, a stunning red with intense varietal fruit and an assertive palate skillfully forged by rich, powerful raw material. A big wine at a small price.” Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri
