| 1997 Bosco Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Italy WB Rating: 86 Alcohol by volume: 13.0% Price at time of purchase: $12.00 (Safeway) Type: Italian Red Principal varietal(s): Montepulciano A very pleasant surprise. This wine, made predominantly of the Montepulciano grape, has a deep red color, a surprisingly forward nose of strawberries, earth, and leather, and pleasant, medium-intensity flavors. Not a bad finish, either. Much better than any number of other Italian Sangiovese-based wines that cost more. - WB Team 2001-07-04 [Back] |
