EXPERIENCE
The cork is synthetic. The nose is light and jammy but solid. The first taste is light with spice and slightly thin but not bad, with a mildly dry finish. The wine has some body with some dark plum or even an olive. Right after the pour the wine is fuller then as it opens it becomes "weaker" or "thin" with the spicy and dry finish. Surprisingly bold for the body.
VERDICT
GOOD AND CHEAP. The 2008 Vallev∂ Montepulciano d'Abruzzo cost right around $12 (it has been found on line for around $9). It is one of the more valued wines for the price. It does not have the "wow" factor however for the price you will not be disappointed either...... (more to come next post)
FACTS
Classified DOC, and comes from Montepulciano in the region of yes you guest it Abruzzo. Not to be confused with the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, which comes from Tuscany. There isn't much information on the Vallevo wines (I know of 3), according to our research this wine is recommended quite a bit. The quality for the price seems to be a huge hit. And we don't disagree.
