The Talamonti 2017 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Modà is fresh, immediate and easy to drink, a simple pairing with a cacio e pepe or any straightforward pasta dish with cheese. Nothing about this wine is overdone. Instead, this lean to mid-weight Montepulciano d'Abruzzo offers frank aromas of cherry, blackberry and spice. It ages in oak casks for a quick six months, and the results of that wood are not exactly neutral, but almost. An ample 330,000 bottles were made.

Smoke and dried thyme notes are layered with crushed blackberry and spiced orange flavors in this balanced, easy-drinking red. Drink now. 50,000 cases made, 20,000 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Select to Add
