Tasting - Terre di Poggio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo



Name: Terre di Poggio Laude
Variety: 100% Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 
Region: Abruzzo  
Country: Italy 
Year: 2012
Price: $8.95

Shop Review: "This opens with dark aromas of leather, tobacco, cured meat, plum and prune. It shows soft tannins and loads of dark fruit on the finish." 
-Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg 

My Review: Dry on the first taste, not sweet; Strong pepper notes on the end; dark cherry on the front palate that fades into the pepper as the wine goes down. Interesting flavor. 

Tasted without food.
