Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

This is very nice. Very soft tannins, full bodied and a little earthy. Just what I needed to end the weekend.

Decent house red. Red cherries and vanilla on the nose/palate. Zippy acidity. Needs 15 minutes in glass to open up. Paired well with stuffed peppers and tomato sauce.

Nestore Bosco has been making wines in Italy’s Abruzzo region since 1897, and there is something to be said for being able to sustain a business for that long. The Bosco 2018 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is a full varietal wine which carries an alcohol level of 13.5% abv and retails for around $15. It was brought to the U.S. by Connecticut importer Votto Vines.

This dark-colored wine smells of dark fruit - blackberries, plums, currants - and tastes much the same. There is quite a bit of sweetness to the palate, and the tannins are very firm. Oak spice comes across as flavors of cinnamon, clove, tobacco and anise. The finish is savory and somewhat lengthy.

Rich had this 5 years ago

Coatco wine

My neighbor was on vacation in Florida and of course what do you do on vacation…you go to Costco. Picked this bottle up for $8. Fantastic. Unfortunately he only bought 1 bottle😡

Watery, pomegranate and lemon, seltzer

Really nice, smooth, earthy, potpourri, smoke, brambly dark fruits, plum, and vanilla.

Smells like body odor

Delightful rich wine for dinner or just to enjoy. Would recommend and will have again.
