2018 Fenaroli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Abruzzo, Italy

100% Montepulciano. Grapes are crushed and macerated for 2 weeks before 6 months aging in neutral Slovenian oak, followed by an additional 6 months in bottle (minimum) before release. Another fan favorite - very popular by-the-glass wine! Loads of character and flavor for the price. Great pizza wine! Will also pair well with meatballs, pasta with red or meat sauce, eggplant Parm, lasagna, salumi and cheese, grilled meat, and Rosemary chicken. Dark berries, plum, licorice, violet and savory herbs on the nose. A wine of medium flesh and sweetness, offering an attractive blend of black fruits and smoky flint accented by a bright floral note. Finishes easygoing, with a fine dusting of tannins and lively acidity.
