Masciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 1.5 L

This light-bodied Montepulciano is driven by tart red berries and mentholated tobacco flavors. Slightly gritty tannins and very bright acidity give this a rustic feel.\n \n Producer Information\n Masciarelli is an Italian wine producer, located in Abruzzo just to the south of the city of Pescara. The family-owned estate produced wine from four different provinces: Chieti, Pescara, Teramo and L'Aquila.
