Riparosso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Due bichieri Gambero Rosso.
Very dark ruby purple. Firmly mineral tinged plums in the nose. Medium+ body and surprising firm tannin for the affordable price point. This will definitely improve in bottle. It also elicited a bit of a histamine reaction for me. Excellent value.

We have had better Montepulciano before.

Once it opens up, this wine is delicate. Tannins are light, bright fruits, easy drinking!

Mery vice

It's wine...

Fantastic! Smooth.

I don't know if the bottle he had was bad or what but this is one our least favorite bottles we have opened in recent memory.

Pretty good especially for the price. Mellow and easy

Good everyday drinker, will buy more.

Very polished. Rather unlike a montepulciano. Good, but not what I like.
