Cortenova Montepulciano d' Abruzzo Tasting

Name: Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 
Variety: 
100 % Montepulciano d' Abruzzo
RegionAbruzzo
Country: Italy  
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95


Review: Deep ruby red color with violet highlights and a pleasant and fruity bouquet. Full bodies, soft tannins and good acidity. Excellent with pasta dishes and red meat. 

My Review: The smell was overwhelming caramel to me. It was very sweet, with a hint of oak in the back of the smell. However, when I tasted this wine, I did not get that sweet, caramel taste. Instead I got a much lighter floral taste that was difficult to describe and really not that complex.
