Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is one of the great wonders of the wine world. It’s always delicious and always inexpensive, and Umani Ronchi is one of the top producers in this area east of Rome in southern Italy. The 2017 Podere is richly layered with sweet dark fruits, supple tannins and impressive length in the finish. You could hardly go wrong at this price. A Platinum Award winner at the 37th San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
