Fontezoppa Italian Red
A soft Italian red we keep just a bottle or two of.
The story behind Fontezoppa
Montepulciano is a red grape grown widely through central Italy, and in the Marche it tends to give a rounded, medium bodied wine with dark cherry, a little dried herb, and gentle tannin that softens with food. It is an everyday red in the truest sense, the kind of bottle that opens up quickly and does not ask much of you.
We stock Fontezoppa Montepulciano here in Commack in very small quantity, one or two bottles at a time, so what you see is what we have.
