Stella, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2016, Italy

Tasting Note: A bright, red-fruit-oriented Montepulciano d’Abruzzo that would pair well with many a midweek meal.

Medium-intensity ruby in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of red cherry, strawberry and red currant with a hint of hibiscus on the finish.

The dry, medium-bodied wine has fresh red-fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and medium tannin.

The wine is straightforward and good in its dimension.
