Farnese, Montelpulciano d’Abruzzo (Abruzzo, Italy) 2010

Aug 18, 2011

By Paul Lukacs

 What a value!  Juicy and mouth-filling, this young, unoaked red is full of plum and cherry fruit flavors with echoes of anise and spice to add intrigue.  Very well balanced, it offers sumptuous pleasure at a ridiculously low price.  I can’t imagine a better red wine for end of summer entertaining.
