Product Description
Fantini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC
100% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Ruby red with garnet reflections, Fantini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC’s bouquet is fruity and quite persistent, reminiscent of red fruits, marasca cherries and plums with vanilla nuances; full-bodied, with good balance and firm tannins, flavorful and long on the palate, immediately appealing and versatile.
