2023 Vallevo Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Producer: Vallevo 
Region: Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Abruzzo, Italy 
Varietal: Montepulciano 
Year: 2023

About the Wine: 

"Made entirely of the Montepulciano grape from the foothills of central Italy’s Abruzzo region. Abruzzo's rugged terrain, 65% of which is mountainous, help to isolate the region from the winemaking influence of the ancient Romans and Etruscans in Tuscany but the area has had a long history of wine production. Montepulciano makes some famous top-end big reds here in the Abruzzo, but the variety also makes amazingly good inexpensive red wine, far better than comparable Sangiovese." 

Tasting Note: (2017 Vintage)

"Aromas and flavors of black plum, black cherry, herbs, and black olives surround a wonderful meaty texture, with enough chewiness to make the wine stand up to food. This is the ideal 'spaghetti red,' at a price that will bring a smile to your face every time you open a bottle." 

Alcohol: 13%
