    Umani Ronchi Podere Montepulciano d'Abruzzo - Satisfying

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: July 4, 2021 Last Updated: January 25, 2023

    A fine Italian find for just $9 at Costco, the Umani Ronchi Podere Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.

    Umani Ronchi Podere Montepulciano d'Abruzzo - Satisfying

    100% Montepulciano from vineyards in the provinces of Chieti and Teramo in Abruzzo, Italy. The wine is aged in stainless steel for 4 months and has 6.9 g/L of residual sugar.

    The wine has an SRP of $13 and is available at Costco for $8.99. No Costco in your area? Check your local retailers for this wine. It is imported by Vineyard Brands.

    From the bottle:

    Villa Bianchi - established in 1890. The drawing on the label is inspired by the country house that has collected several stories and memories. The place from which the paths of our grape-growing philosophy started.

    13% Alcohol

    The 2018 Umani Ronchi Podere Montepulciano d'Abruzzo begins with an inviting aroma of black cherry and blackberry plus lots mint and herbal notes and a little black pepper. It's quite a nice start.

    The wine tastes smooth, juicy and good. Light-bodied and easy to drink, it features good acidity and good balance. It's not big or over the top in any way, but it's still very satisfying. Similar flavors to the nose with some added licorice in the mouth lead into the dry, long, savory and grippy finish. It went great with our pizza. Yum!
