2/28 Tasting - Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Name: Cortenova Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Variety: 100% Montepulciano d' Abruzzo
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95
 
Shop's Review: Deep ruby red color with violet highlights and a pleasant and fruity bouquet.  Full bodied, soft tannins and good acidity.  Excellent with pasta dishes and red meats.
 
My Review: This red wine smelt like vinegar.  It was a dry wine.  I detected smoke, earth, and dirt.
 
I did not drink this wine with food.
