Day 9 takes us back to Italy, to the DOC region of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. This immensely food friendly, unpretentious Italian red wine is perfect for pairing with many hearty rustic dishes. From picnics to pizza Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is an affordable Italian red wine you need to know.
We put this bottle through its paces on the tasting chart and come up with a score. Join me, David Devere, Minnesota’s first licensed wine educator, as we open a bottle from this clever advent calendar each day from December 1st to 24th. While I’m not expecting the best wines in the world it does give me an opportunity to teach you about wine appreciation while having fun growing a wine community here on Youtube. Cheers!
