Fantini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC ‘23

This robust red from Italy's Abruzzo region offers deep ruby hues and aromas of black cherry, plum, and dark chocolate. The palate is rich and velvety, with flavors of blackberry, licorice, and a touch of espresso supported by supple tannins (90 points). Aged 12 months in large oak casks, it finishes with spicy length. A tremendous value that pairs perfectly with grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes.
