Caldora Montepulciano d' Abruzzo (2006) Abruzzo


A nice, affordable Montepulciano d' Abruzzo from Caldora, a young partnership between Valentino Sciotti, renowned winemaker Mario Ercolino, and one of the largest cooperatives in Abruzzo. Most of their vast holdings lie between the Adriatic coast and Mount Maiella. Their Montepulciano d' Abruzzo is 100% Montepulciano. It has a deep ruby-red color, with a heavy red/black fruit nose. Nice body; balanced acidity. Good everyday food wine.
