A good Montepulciano D’Abruzzo is simple and satisfying. Perhaps like this commentary. Oh, I should add while in the corporate world one of the slogans I encountered (or better said was battered over my head for a particular year) was Keep It Simply Simple (KISS). You might wish to observe that everything could be kept simple except for the calculation of the bonuses of the “Senior Management Team” that defied all logic. Greed can lose itself in “complications”.
Aroma: Grape, plum and slate.
Palate: Not many tannins here. Can we say COSTCO generic? Unassuming therefore unoffending? It hits the throat in a tidal wave bashing its way around the mouth and just lingers refusing to leave.
Personality: You’ll love me. I will love you. Woodstock again! I’ll be your…what do those Americans say…”house wine”. Buy lots of me!
Food Match: Almost any food will do except for plainly, not tomato sauce, versions of fish. Grilled squid and octopus will be well rewarded with this wine!
Cellarbility: Enjoy in 2023! This wine will be back soon!
Price: $17.95(Ontario).
RKS 2023 Wine Rating; 87/100. If there was such category as a versality and affable score 97/100! KISS this this wine!
