LC Villa, from the rolling hills of Italy's famed Abruzzi region, is a knockout for the price. This classic Italian red is a perfect pairing for pizza and pastas, crafted at the Tinazzi winery, the label behind customer favorites: Imperio Primitivo and Dugal Rosso. With the LC Villa, Tinazzi creates a Montepulciano d'Abruzzo of great depth and finesse. As soon as you open the bottle, you're hit with explosive aromas of brambleberry, dark-cherry compote, and raspberry coulis. The cool-climate vineyards give the Montepulciano plentiful acidity, while keeping the alcohol in check at only 13.0%. Even Eric Asimov from The New York Times writes, "To find great values in Italian wine, look to Abruzzo." Don't miss it!
"Ruby red. Aromas of ripe cherries are woven together with a soft, round texture that moves seamlessly into the finish, marked by dark plum flavors and tobacco notes. Pairs well with pasta dishes, roasts and grilled meats." Luca Maroni, 94 Points
