Farnese Casale Vecchio Montepulciano D'abruzzo 2012
Abruzzo, Italy$10.95
Cherries, prunes, and spices on the nose. Very fruity but with green tannins and light acidity which unbalances the wine.

Apricots, apples, and minerals on the nose. Approaching semi-sweet on the palate with a healthy dose of acid to keep it balanced. Will improve over the next 3 years.
