Caroso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva DOC 2015 - Citra Vini

If you hold the glass at a slight angle, a transition of the colour tone towards garnet red can be seen at the edges of this cask aged wine. This varietal Italian wine shows wonderfully expressive notes of blackberries, mulberries, dried fruits and blueberries in the glass. These are joined by hints of cinnamon, dark chocolate and oriental spices.

This dry red wine from Citra Vini is for wine connoisseurs who would like to have 0.0 grams of sugar in their wine. The Caroso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva already comes quite close to this, as it was pressed with just 3.5 grams of residual sugar. On the tongue, this powerful red wine is characterized by an immensely balanced texture. With its vital fruit acidity, the Caroso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva is fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this red wine from the Abruzzo wine-growing region, which can be stored well, finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of fruit bread and mulberry.
