Vigna Madre Becco Reale Montepulciano D'abruzzo 2020 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 91/100

The nose unfurls with umami, savory aromas of old leather, hot tar, crushed rocks, pepper and mixed herbs. Dried figs and pomegranates headline the palate, while citrus, salt and pepper give lift and life. Tannins are just beginning to expand and unwind. — Danielle Callegari (90 points wineenthusiast.com) NEW: Abruzzo runs from the snowy Apennines down to the Adriatic coast. Vigna Madre's Becco Reale shows how deep and savoury Montepulciano becomes with a few years in bottle. Black cherry and violet sit on a frame of chewy tannins. Montepulciano is Italy's most generous host, rarely asking much of your wallet. Pork and mushroom ragù is a natural partner.

Montepulciano D'abruzzo food pairings: pasta arrabbiata, grilled lamb sausage, pork and mushroom ragu.

Perfect Pasta and Tomato Sauce Wine
