Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

On the sweet side. But can’t beat it for 6 bux at Trader Joe’s.

Very good for $7 from Trader Joe’s

Nice deep color. Nose: not a lot going on; mild barnyard (by which I mean: MANURE) and fried chicken (explain THAT one to me). Taste: like the nose, little taste and a dash of manure, a little bitter. Forgettable fine, simple, but at least it tastes Italian rather than like the cheap light fruity perfumy wines TJ’s sells all the time. With this I am content. 85. POST SCRIPT: did not do well on the second day, even though most of the bottle was left. Totally dead and anonymous. Won’t lower the score, but yech.

Beautiful deep dark red color. Flavorful, with nice bite, but kinda watery. Tasted 1 March 2022 $6 from Trader Joe’s … a nice value, for sure. And by the way, the wine was much better on day two … no more watery flavor! Day 1 rating: 82; day 2 rating: 89

Inexpensive yet balanced and smooth

Easy drinking. Medium bodied Italian red. Tanin finish. Good price at tjs $6

Not the best red I've had thats for sure

Love these Italian reds.

Good
