Simple table wine here that has nice profiles of what you might typically find in a montepulciano d’abruzzo. Blackberries and vanilla cola, hints of tobacco and dried herbs. Medium bodied and medium finish.

Entirely drinkable inexpensive wine. It's not a sugar bomb, it's not thick, it has interesting aromas, acidity, and tannin. It's not boring! That's a bonus.

Nothing extraordinary but still quite quaffable. Could use another couple years in the bottle. Still an excellent value.

Excellent with tomato based Italian meals. Enjoyed bottle of 2015 at home with turkey meatballs, zucchini and yellow squash spaghetti covered with daughter's excellent Italian marinara sauce.

This is a decent very dry red wine to pair with pasta or pizza. Would not drink on its own.
