Antonio & Elio Monti Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Pignotto 2012 Bottle:1 with most of the mapleUnfined and unfiltered to preserve all its fleshy, fruit flavors, this wine has a dark, inky, red color and intense aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and herbs with undertones of licorice, black pepper, and smoke. Generous, yet pure on the palate, this wine's ripe, round tannins and delicate acidity make for an excellent overall structure. Pair this wine with sausages, tomato sauces, barbecue, and ancho chile based dishes.
