Tonight's bottle is an Italian red called Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. I have to admit I did a double take when I saw the $7 price tag. I can't possibly pass up such an inexpensive bottle of a famous grape so in the cart it went.Not really expecting much I am delighted to find that it is very drinkable. There isn't a whole lot of structure but there is a nice sour cherry fruit without any aggressive tannins. Canaletto did a nice job with this simple wine. How they can make money selling it to me in Chicago for $7 I just don't understand.
