Illuminati Riparosso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2005
Abruzzo, ItalyIt's amazing what a sunny, warm vintage will do for some of Italy's lesser lights. This Montepulciano has put on some weight and texture to go with its smoky, peppery, licorice, plum flavours and firm acidity. It's now a very enjoyable spaghetti red that offers value for money. Look for this to show up on the Italian/Mediterranean wine list circuit.Tasted: 19 February 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $14.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
