Valle Reale's tasty 2006 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Vigne Nuove is an opulent wine loaded with jammy, ripe fruit. It offers plenty of up-front appeal and should drink well over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2009. I always look forward to tasting the wines of Valle Reale. These are wines of notable personality and character. Readers should also be on the lookout for the Valle Reale Cerasuolo Vigne Nuove, which is consistently one of Italy’s finest roses.A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel.
