Thinking about it
Just Right
This is the one of the most popular Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wines from a very popular vintner.
Medium-bodied with bright red fruits, earthy and savoury. Fresh acidity and well-integrated tannins.
Plenty of personality here, with a creamy finish.

Directing the Way
For days like these
Made from Barbera, Syrah and Muscat Blac to give a slight salmony colour.
Some might say jammy in flavour. It has a similar complexity to Pomegranate Molasses. One side of your head says slightly sweet, and the other says tart.
It is a great wine for sitting on the deck or patio with friends and sipping away the sunset. If you are going to add food – what about a light chicken salad or a cheese plate?

Thinking Thoughts
Mislabeled
Definitely NOT evil flowers as the label indicates.
These belong on the list of The Wines of Summer.
Plunk me down in this chunk of South Western France. and let me wander. I think we would do just fine weaving our way from vineyard to vineyard enjoying the wines of summer.
A little of this, a bit more of that, and lots of this – mix and match that go with tapas, cheeses, or even roasted poultry. Colombard, Ugni Blanc (known as Trebbiano in Italy), and Gros Manseng, along with international varieties like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
Because they are high in acidity and have relatively neutral flavors, Colombard and Ugni Blanc are often distilled to make brandy in South West France.
I suggest that you serve the white a little colder than other whites.
