Farnese Montepulciano Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo DOC 2010 13 % alcohol $9
Let’s start by quoting the producer’s website. “Vine: Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Production area: Ortona district. Sensory features: bright pink cherry, intense and persistent aroma, fruity with small red fruit scent (strawberry). Medium-bodied, balanced, intense and with a great persistence. We suggest to drink it young. Serving temperature: about 14-16° C. Best served with: easy to drink, good with first and second courses, white meat and cheese, good with grilled fish and fish soups.“ And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine was sour. It presented harsh acidity with some sweetness in the background. Salted pistachios rounded the wine’s acidity and stepped up its sweetness. The initial meal centered on a (boxed) baked Ziti Siciliano doused with grated Parmesan cheese. In response Monte was sweet, tasting of cherries, and had good length. But its acidity was still not all that pleasant. Dessert was frozen high-quality French-style custard pie with a buttery crust and strawberries. Now the libation thinned but remained sour.
