Tasting - Terre di Poggio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Laude 2012


Name: Terre di Poggio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Laude
Variety: 100% Montepulciano
Region: Abruzzo
Country: Italy
Year: 2012
Price: $8.95

Shop Review: This opens with dark aromas of leather, tobacco, cured meat, plums, and prune. It shows soft tannins and loads of dark fruit on the finish.

My Review: This was a hard nose to distinguish and I mostly picked out red fruits.  On the palate, I noticed right away that this wine was very tart and seemed to be over-oaked.  I was surprised that it did not have very strong tannins but it did have a very long finish.

I did not have food with this wine.
