The Masciarelli 2018 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (in a screw-cap bottle) is primary and bright in personality with dark cherry and plum. The wine is short and simple overall, but you get enough fruit texture and just enough mild structure to pair with a classic burger and fries. The wine ends on a tart or slightly bitter note that could counter the fat in those foods.

Ripe black raspberry and black cherry fruit flavors are accented by hints of toasty smoke, dried lavender, vanilla and spice in this light-bodied, sippable red. Drink now. 50,000 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Select to Add
