Tasting - Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Name: Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Variety: 100% Montepulciano
Region: Abruzzo
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95
Tasting Date: February 28, 2013
Location: Vintage Cellar
Food Pairing: None

Winery Review: Deep ruby red color with violet highlights and a pleasant and fruity bouquet. Full bodied, soft tannins and good acidity. Excellent with pasta dishes and red meats.

  My Thoughts: The color is a light red, looks a bit thin. Strange earthy and fruity nose, though not distinct, I would almost call it a rotten fruit. The flavor is much the same with fruit and earthen tones. Not something I enjoyed overly much.
