Tom and Melody’s wine blog

Melody is still out of town, Trigger is dozing in Melody’s chair, and I’m trying this Saliero Montepulciano D’Abruzzo 2006.

It’s a pleasant Italian red table wine, with medium body, medium dry, with a mild berry-fruit taste. It has the yeasty, musky nose and taste that many Italian reds have. Quite different from our usual big reds, but pleasant.

This Saliero Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2006 is very nice, tasting of chocolate and luscious dark fruit.  It’s quite dry but not particularly tannic; it’s pleasantly soft. It’s extremely drinkable; a very pleasant Italian table red.
