Tasting- Cortenova Montepulciano d' Abruzzo

Name: Cortenova Montepulciano d' Abruzzo
Variety: 100% Montepulciano d' Aruzzo
Region: Abruzzo
Country:Italy
Year:2010
Price: $6.95

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 review:I got almost a dark chocolate covered fruit aroma on the nose of this wine.  Then upon tasting, I got a raspberry, sour cherry, almost smoky flavor.  This wasn't bad for a red wine and would consider trying it again.

This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
