2005 Masciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo


2005 Masciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo - $9 Montepulciano, Italy. The color of this wine is of red cherry and a bit of rust. It has a nose of strawberries, raspberries, and cinnamon, very fruity. On the palate the wine is medium to light bodied with a dry tart finish. This is simple Italian wine that would go well with many different foods, although I didn't eat with it. I tried to figure out what the varietal of the wine is and had no luck, it's either sangiovese or montepulciano d'abruzzo. Italian wine can be very difficult to understand, if anyone know exactly what varietal this is holla at me. This is wine is simple, straightforward, and good, and they make a ton of it so it should be easy to find, I recommend it. Is it cliche to say it would go good with pizza?
