"This
opens with dark aromas of leather, tobacco, cured meat, plum and prune. It
shows soft tannins and loads of dark fruit on the finish."
What is with this week's wines and having extremely complicated names? This is also my first exposure to a wine from this region, but it was pretty solid. It was a very smoky wine with lots of flavor, but it didn't seem overpowering in any way. If I bought a bottle, I'd probably have to let it breathe for 5-6 hours before touching it since it's such a strong flavor profile, but overall it was good. I didn't have it with food, but if I had to take a guess, this wine would be great with a steak (especially one that's been slathered with lots of spices). Fun fact: Abruzzo means "light blue" in Italian. Thanks, Italian 1105!
