Masciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 750 ML

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.
