In previous Wine of the Week write-ups, I featured the five Masciarelli wines which were to be served at our Wine Dinner - a huge success! - at Gerardi's Cafe. The two remaining Masciarelli wines we offer at Harney's are:
MASCIARELLI MONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO Already a favorite among our patrons, this wine is affordable, earthy, intense, with aromas and flavors of black cherries, red currants, violets, with a hint of tobacco.
MARINA CVETIC MONTEPULCIANO D'ABRUZZO This is one of my top five wines at Harney's; to me, it is the ultimate - to date, at least - expression of the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo grape varietal. This is a powerful wine, full-bodied, succulent, earthy, bursting with aromas and flavors of blackberries, black cherries, dark chocolate, smoke. It has a silky texture and a long, long finish.
Taste and see!
