You likely know that Montepulciano is an intense red wine from Italy. But have you ever had it made in rose style?
We were able to give this unique preparation a try with a sample bottle from Masciarelli's Villa Gemma Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo and have to admit it is a rather unique way to enjoy this grape!
We have a tendency to describe red wines that are fruit-forward with little secondary dimensions as good table wine, and the Pietramore Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is close to what we often consider for that distinction.
But this one offers a modest amount of tannins to round out the fruit and comes together for a pretty balanced, if still fruit-forward, wine.
