Masciarelli Italian Red
Everyday Montepulciano from Abruzzo, stocked small in Commack.
The story behind Masciarelli
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is the everyday red of Italy's Adriatic coast: a soft, dark fruited wine with modest tannin and a clean dry finish. It is not the same grape as the Tuscan Vino Nobile, and it does not try to be. It is the bottle Italians open with dinner on a Tuesday, and it drinks that way here too.
We keep Masciarelli Montepulciano in the Italian red section in Commack in a 750mL and a 1.5L. Small stock, so call ahead if you want a case.

Two sizes of the same Abruzzo red, the standard bottle and the large format for a table full of people.
| Expression | Type | Proof / ABV | Tasting notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Masciarelli Montepulciano 750mL | Italian Red | 750mL | Soft dark fruit, light tannin, dry finish |

Which Masciarelli is right for you?
The 750mL is $12.99 and the 1.5L is $19.99, which makes the big bottle the better value if you are feeding a table. Both are the same Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, so buy the small one for a quiet dinner and the large one when the whole family shows up.
Cheap enough to open on a Tuesday with red sauce.
One big bottle covers a table of eight without a second trip.
