Cantina Zaccagnini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo – Forgettable

IMAG0102

This wine comes from Costco and is just $11.99. Overall it wasn’t bad, but my wife and I both preferred the 2009 Chiusa Grande Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Tommolo from Trader Joe’s. Not only did we rate it higher for Taste, but it is also half the cost, making it a much better buy. (Note: I did see some reports of bottle variation over at CellarTracker, so you might have better luck with it than we did.)

Buy this wine online from our featured sponsor Marketview Liquor!
