Valle Reale Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2017 brand_Ferrari-Carano Wine & Spirits 90 pointsBright ruby red in color, this youthful red offers explosive aromas of blueberries, cherries, licorice, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is medium bodied with plentiful acidity and a pleasant finish. This wine can be served before a meal, but it pairs well with meatballs, tomato sauces, eggplant parmigiana, and risotto ai funghi. The primary fruit really springs out of the glass with elderberry reduction, violet extract and a hint of banana peel.
