Colle Secco Rubino Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2006
Abruzzo, ItalyBig spicy, tobacco, barnyard nose with meaty game aromas. The entry is dry and round with fresh acidity and a touch of tannin in the back end. The palate mixes smoky, dried herb and meaty notes with leather, coffee, barnyard and cherry flavours. A rustic spaghetti red that can be tamed with some meatballs. Restaurants should serve this one by the glass.Tasted: 16 August 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $18.00 | 750ml | general listing |
