Masciarelli Montepulciano D'Abruzzo 2021

Opaque, garnet hue with aromas of subtle milk chocolate, cherry berry, strawberry licorice.

Palate--Clean cherry and berry flavors with rigid acidity, mid-palate savory spices and cocoa, finishing with a black licorice ending.

This is one of my favorite budget Montepulciano D'Abruzzos and never disappoints. It goes with all kinds of Italian themed dishes but I served it with my wife's special dinner of boneless rib eyes on the charcoal and hardwood grill. It was perfect.  I grabbed this for $9 at my favorite wine shop in Portland, Maine and will return tomorrow to see if I can score any more.  Raise a glass!
