Nestore Bosco “PAN” Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2018
Tasting Notes: Dark ruby red in color with light orange nuances. On the nose it is intense with aromas of mature red fruit and secondary spices smells. On the palate it is full, soft, and rightly tannic.
Food Pairings: Pair this wine with Hors d’oeuvre of delicatessen and ripening cheese, pasta dishes with red sauce and mushrooms, or roasted red meat and game.
James Suckling: “Lots of crushed black fruit on the nose and full palate, where well-integrated tannins push the fruit along for some time. No real complexity, but lightly oak, riserva-style structure that hangs together. Drink or hold.”
International Wine Report: “This Montepulciano d’Abruzzo opens with pretty aromas of dark cherries and plums along with dried herbs, spices, damp soil nuances. On the palate this possesses a medium body, which is backed by velvety tannins that carry on through the finish. Overall, this is accessible now and should continue to drink well over the course of the next few years.”
