This Montepulciano d' Abruzzo is the first wine released by the Quattro Mani (four hands) brand, a concept of Italian wine importer Paolo Domenghetti of Domaine Select. His idea was to have four winemakers, each representing a different Italian wine region, create wines which would be marketed under the Quattro Mani label. The wine is 100% Montepulciano (the grape, not the place) grown on the Ercole Velenosi estate in Abruzzo (a place, not a grape). This youthful wine sees no wood, so its fresh, dark cherry flavors sparkle. Its "smoke on the water" in color, and has lush, smooth tannins. A terrific, food-friendly wine that belies its low price tag.
