Le Pigole, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2019

Vinous Reverie Notes
Tasting Notes: Aromas include dark plums, dark cherries, dark chocolate, and with overall hints of “very fresh” and refreshing fruit aromas.  Flavors include blackberries, boysenberries, and dark plums but with additional hints of ripe stone fruits such as peaches and nectarines.  There is an elegant medium to light body which flows smoothly across the palate, good balance and perfect acidity, a hint of the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo tannins, and a refreshing full finish. Food Pairing: would include Filet Mignon, New York steak, short ribs, beef stew, burgers, lamb chops, BBQ ribs, duck, tuna, swordfish, pasta with meat sauce or spicy tomato sauces, lasagna, grilled sausages, jambalaya, Indian Tandoori and lamb dishes, Mexican beef and pork dishes, charcuterie, rich, medium, and hard cheeses.
