DRINK OF THE WEEK
18th November 2024
Villa Verde Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Morrisons £5.45
Drinker Rating 89
Last week I wrote about Cava being back in the game, the quality having improved immeasurably in the last few years but the price remaining low. Well I have another style which has undergone a similar transformation, this time it's Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.
Montepulciano is the grape and it's made in Abruzzo in eastern central Italy. There used to be gallons of really sub standard stuff exported to us as a cheap foodie red - but in honesty it was usually angular and inconsistent.
In recent years it's had a transformation to a much more drinker friendly, approachable sipping red - would still do well with food but it's so much more easy drinking these days. This one comes from Morrisons and just look at the price-tag!
Cheers!
