Hand picked grapes are traditionally vinified by means of a long maceration of the skins at a controlled temperature in appropriate stainless steel tanks. The must is frequently pumped over onto marc to ensure colour extraction and aromatic precursors. Wine resulting from this process is left to decant in stainless steel tanks.

2017 vintage delivered not 2016 as advertised. Wine OK but not as delicious as 2016 description suggests.

A Great Discovery

This is a really enjoyable wine with well-balanced flavours. And this is from someone who cannot usually tolerate red wine at all.

Fantastic value for money

The label says that 2016 was the best year ever for this wine. At the current offer price, fill your boots, it is great value!

Very disappointed

1 stars

Really disappointed with this. Shouldn't be in the 'Finest' range. I am usually very impressed with the 'Finest' products, but this was bad. Tasted like it had a load of oak chip added but that wasn't mentioned on the bottle. Really dry. Ditched the rest of the bottle.

Where is the taste of Italy ?

Review from tesco.com

Oh dear - what a disappointment from the flagship Tesco label. Absolutely no flavour of Italy, Back to the drawing board. Are the Italians keeping the best of the Montepulciano for themselves? Perhaps the focus on driving a hard price bargain is coming home to roost.

Great bargain Italian for everyday drinking.

Review from tesco.com

I cannot understand all the good reviews of this wine. When Montepulciano D'Abruzzo was new to the UK about 10-15 years ago it was usually a fabulous buy. Presumably the Italians have also discovered it now, and keep the good stuff for themselves. The label says 'bold and full bodied', but I would sum it up as rough and unpleasant.
