Natalie's Score: 89/100

From Abruzzo D.O.P., Niro di Citra 2018 Montepulciano D'abruzzo is produced from 100% Montepulciano and great value at $17. Dry, full-bodied and fragrant with bright red berry, blueberry, plum, coffee and vanilla flavours concentrated on the palate. Tannins are structured. A versatile, friendly Montepulciano to enjoy with a meat-lover's pizza or sausages from the grill.

Perfect Pasta and Tomato Sauce Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of cherry, dark plum, and mocha with hints of graphite, leather and spices. Full bodied, with light tannins, bright acidity, and nicely balanced ripe and tart berry flavours, along with a bit of spice, vanilla, and leather on the finish. Enjoy with charcuterie.
Niro di Citra 2018 Montepulciano D'abruzzo is produced from 100% Montepulciano sourced from the Abruzzo wine region. Dry, full-bodied and fragrant with juicy dark fruits, dark cherry, mocha and vanilla notes zesty on the palate, it is an excellent value and hearty, food-friendly red to enjoy with a sausage cassoulet. - Community Wine Reviews
