Aculina 2017 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Italy

Description

Some wines are made to be enjoyed on their own, they shine lightly in a glass and are crisp—they also tend to be white wines and light reds. Others, especially tannic, dark reds are ideal for tasting with food. With the Aculina Montepulciano, you have the perfect opportunity to taste a vibrant red wine with the classic foods of Italy. This Italian wine has a deep ruby red color and a light and fruity bouquet of red fruits. We love the way that it finishes with soft tannins and nice acidity. We think that it will be amazing with all kinds of pizza, a Beef Bolognese, or even roasted pork. Judges at the 2019 Critics Challenge heaped praise on the Aculina calling it the “Best of Class – Montepulciano,” awarding it 94 Points, and a Platinum medal and it received another Gold from the 2019 Denver International Wine Competition.
