Flavor: Satisfying, comparatively rich layers of raspberry and other cane fruit, finishing with excellent acidity and restrained alcohol.

Notes: A spectacularly low price for an attractive dry red wine that’s able to complement a wide range of foods, from the richest meats to the simplest pastas. In a field crowded with so many pleasant Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wines, this is a triumph of winegrowing and winemaking.
