Umani Ronchi Montipagano Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2007 DOC 13% alcohol about $10
Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. Description : Our Quality Assurance Laboratory has determined that this organic product contains 6 mg/L of free sulphur. Tasting Note : (Translated from the French) A beautiful dark montepulciano with pretty flavors of crushed fruit and no overt wood. Displays chewy, fine fruit, full body and plenty of strength. (Marc André Gagnon, at the vinquebec website May 1, 2009) And now for my review.
At the first sips the wine was dark tasting with well-balanced acidity and light tannins. I started by pairing it with a commercial shepherd’s pie. The acidity picked up a bit and I tasted dark cherries. The Montepulciano was hearty but short. When I added a generous amount of cayenne pepper sauce the wine was only slightly affected. continues on my website.
