Tasting- Valle Reale D'abruzzo Rose

Name: Valle Reale
Variety: D'abruzzo Rose 
Region: ?
Country: 
Year: 2011
Price: 7.95 

Winery Review: Cerasuolo, which means 'cherry red' in Italian, is a voluptuous and powerful rosé version of the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC wine.  Made entirely from Montepulciano, the grapes are grown on hillside estate vineyards, where they benefit from a high altitude and an excellent microclimate.
Tasting Notes
Generous aromas of strawberry jam and wild herbs.  This wine is medium-bodied and fresh, with layers of fruit flavors and a lingering finish.

Personal Review: This wine was a light pink color. On the nose I got hints of strawberry and raspberries. The wine had a little bit of a bite to it. The finis was acidic. I did not enjoy this wine very much, it was to dry for my liking. I did not pair this wine with food.
