Masciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2009 (Organic)
$13.99
Robert Parker's review of the 2008 vintage:
"The 2008 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a terrific wine for the money. This is a mid-weight, feminine style of Montepulciano that emphasize freshness over concentration. Sweet red berries, spices, leather and licorice linger on the harmonious finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
Masciarelli is a reference point producer for rich, internationally styled wines from Abruzzo. Richness and ripeness are pushed to the extremes here, but when the estate is firing on all cylinders the wines are undeniably beautiful. Readers will have to accept less varietal typicity for the lushness these wines offer."
