Wine Review "Montepulciano"

Name: Montepulciano
Region: Gambellara – Italy (Abruzzo – Central italy)
Year: 2006
Producer/Vineyard: Villa Cerrina
Purchase from: Trader Joes - 5 bucks


Taste
Light/soft tannins with a smooth taste. Almost like drinking flavored water to be honest! However this region of Italy is popular for soft tannins and the wines are typically consumed very young. Considering all this my taste buds would pass on a “Montepulciano” wine grape in the future.

Appearance
The color of the wine is very light and the coloration from the center becomes almost clear as you look at the wine up to light. Again this region is popular for its young wines and considers them Riserva after only two yeas of aging. For this reason you will see light coloring and smoother flavors.

Overall Performance
5.5 out of 10 – Average even for the regions standards. Hard to enjoy with any other rich flavors so I would recommend with light cheese or even by itself.
