| Community Tasting Notes (average 80.4 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Vintopia on 3/12/2019 & rated 86 points: Citra's 2017 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a juicy straight forward wine that's packed with wild berry fruit, crushed herbs, and traces of dark chocolate. This effort is medium in body and so easy to drink. Enjoy it over the next 3 years. (980 views) | | | Tasted by goodvitis.com on 11/14/2018 & rated 87 points: A dark, slightly hedonistic nose of cherry juice concentrate, dark tobacco leaf, topsoil and orange zest. Medium in weight with crispy acidity and fine, dusty and chewy tannin. Theres a wallop of plum to go with cassis, black currant, tart cherry and cedar. I'd suggest letting this one air out for an hour before consuming. (997 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 10/27/2018 & rated 85 points: Few Italian wines: Medium ruby color. Nose shows raspberries, red cherries, rhubarb and white pepper. Medium-bodied on the palate with dusty-light tannins and tart acidity. Cherries and raspberries mix with notes of spiced tea, coffee and earth. Simple, fun, crowd-pleasing, pizza-friendly wine. (1078 views) |

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a type of wine grape as well as a type of red wine made from these same grapes in the Abruzzo region of east-central Italy. The grape is however recommended for 20 of Italy's 95 provinces. Up to 10% Sangiovese is permitted to be added to the blend. It is typically a fruity, dry wine with soft tannins, and as such is often consumed young. If aged by the winery for more than two years, the wine may be labelled "Riserva."
This wine should not be confused with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a Tuscan wine made from Sangiovese and other grapes, but not the Montepulciano variety.
The quality of Montepulciano wines produced in Abruzzo (especially in the provinces of Pescara and Chieti) has been constantly improving in the last ten years, making Abruzzi, once a backwater in winemaking, one of the most interesting locales in the Italian scene.
It is blended with the grape Ciliegolo to make the wine Torgiano. It is also used as the primary grape in Rosso Conero DOCG and is a major part of the Rosso Piceno DOC blend.
Over the past few years the Montepulciano variety has been successfully introduced into Australia.
