This easy-drinking red wine delivers lovely dark red plums, berries and fleshy black plums on the palate, with mouth-watering acidity to accommodate tomato and meat sauces. Decant it for an hour for maximum pleasure. Great price for this quality.

Montepulciano D'abruzzo food pairings: hearty pastas, tomato based meat dishes, grilled eggplant, garlic and mushrooms with a sprig of rosemary.
