2019 Cantine Spinelli Montepulciano D'Abruzzo Atessa Italy

 


A really nice inexpensive Italian from the Central Region of Italy, tonight was the 2019 Spinelli Montepulciano D'Abruzzo.  The wine includes both the Montepulciano D'Abruzzo and Sangiovese grapes and fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks.

Nice color in the glass with ruby red and purple hues. The nose shows nicely with dark fruit aromas of dark cherry and plum followed by a hint of earthiness and a peppery spice. The mouth starts with cherry and juicy plum, a little dusty earth and spice on the long soft finish. Great starter wine I paired with cheese and genoa salami.


Cheers
