Crafted from the sun-drenched hills of Abruzzo, the LC Villa Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOP 2019 is a stunning example of this robust varietal, earning a commendable 94 points from Luca Maroni. This wine captivates with its deep ruby color and an inviting bouquet of ripe black cherries, plums, and a hint of earthy spice. On the palate, it reveals a velvety texture, balanced acidity, and soft tannins that frame flavors of dark fruit and subtle notes of cocoa, making it incredibly approachable yet complex. Perfect for cozy dinners featuring hearty pasta dishes or grilled meats, this wine is not just a treat; it’s a smart buy for the quality, offering exceptional value compared to its retail price.
