La Quercia Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Doc

Here's a solid, straightforward red that opens with aromas of sour cherry and a whiff of new leather. The ripe fruity palate exhibits juicy blackberry, raspberry and a hint of anise. It's easy drinking, with soft tannins.

Tasting Notes: This Montepulciano is a great example of what can happen when you match low-yield winemaking expertise with a prolific growing zone, and constantly cut, cut, cut back the vines. Made by winemaker Antonio Lamona, the result is one of the best quality, most expressive and balanced Montepulcianos around. This wine is also 100% organic, and delivers as a wine that takes no shortcuts.

Pairs well with Olive tapenade, pork chop with sauteed onions, and chicken kebabs
