Don’t be bashful; it’s not that kind of Full Monte! This is the fun loving, uncomplicated and easy-going Full Monte, that is the most welcome guest at any backyard barbeque or casual dinner party. The Montepulciano grapes are primarily grown in the province of Abruzzo along Italy’s Adriatic coast. This region produces dry, fairly acidic wine that has a full-bodied texture and strong flavors of wild berries and cherries, tobacco, dark chocolate and robust spices.
It’s an intriguing wine to try as a switch from Merlot or even a spicy Zinfandel. Pair it with roasted chicken or rich risotto.
