Villa Gemma Montepulciano d'Abruzzo by Masciarelli - a Wine in a Blue Tuxedo!

Dear Wine Lovers,

First of all, I miss you so much! I've had a really busy working-period and I couldn't write any wine-review.

I'm so sorry for that.

Due to this 3-weeks-absence, today we have to celebrate this reunion with a special gift, with one of my favorite wines. I'm really happy to take you again on a wonderful region named Abruzzo, in a medieval small town in the province of Chieti named San Martino sulla Marruccina. This amazing town has of just one thousand people, the air is pure and you can breathe an ancient sense of nature and serenity. Here there is one of my favorite wine-makers, Masciarelli Family, and I had talked about them in this review:

Today, as promised, I'm here to present you a master, a king, the strongest native muscle wine of our country:

Villa Gemma Montepulciano D'Abruzzo by Masciarelli

Oh - My - Goodness!

Now you should imagine having a bottle of Villa Gemma Montepulciano D'Abruzzo in front of you, so, open it.

First and only negative information: pay attention to the cork - unfortunately, it happened a lot of times that I opened a bottle of Villa Gemma and it was ruined by a bad-quality cork. I think that there was a bad-batch of cork. But today the problem has been fixed so don't worry. I've got some problem with the 2004 vintage and maybe some 2001 and 2003. Last time I tasted an amazing 2005 and it was really really good. So, don't worry, are you managing a precious gemstone... and I suggest you to open it almost 2 hours before tasting.

Prepare your clean and shining balloon glass and pour-down the wine looking at the wonderful color, oh no, you're not daltonian, you're looking good, the color is deep, dark, is not just red... it's blue! Oh, I love it.

Now wait 30 seconds and then put nose in the glass with decision and smell; you'll find a complex bouquet that you'll never forget. This bouquet will be confirmed in your mouth, with an explosion of mature red fruity flavor, flowery, spices, vanilla and my lovely sense of leather.

Suggested Price: around 45 Euros. The perfect gift for Christmas.

There are no enough effective words to describe this wine, you have just buy a bottle of this masterpiece wine and have an experience that you'll take with you forever.

Life is poetry!

Enjoy,

Angelo D'Alessandro
