  I opened this after finishing the last quarter of a delicious Fleurie. I was expecting it to be outdone in charm. Not a bit of It! And it added to that charm greater robustness and more southerly tints of orange peel and herds. Again I had to exercise restraint to avoid finishing the bottle in one sitting. Very good wine and QPR at €9,50.

  This is just what I want from M d'Abruzzo. Medium+ bodied, robust, bursting with plum fruit, dried herbs, orange peel, earth, fresh acidity and slightly rustic vigour in its ripe backbone. IMO this grape variety is in its element producing joyful entry level quaffs like this rather than most of the over-priced, over-extracted and over-oaked prestige bottlings which rarely convince me. Good+ and I hope that the store is not sold out.
