Tasting - Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo


The Vintage Cellar, 2/28/13

Name:  Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Variety:  100% Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Region:  Veneto
Country:  Italy
Year:  2010
Price:  $6.95
Public 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:  Nose is deep, rich, and full of berries.  Wine is dry, and not as pleasant as I expected from the nose.  Might be better with a heavy food.  
With food?:  No, although I had eaten a granola bar about 10 minutes beforehand.  
Did buy?:  No
