WHAT: Citra Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2008 (red) Rating: NNN
WHERE: Chiete, Italy
WHY: It’s not “affordable,” it’s not “economical” – it’s cheap. Now banish that thought, because price tag preoccupation will stop you from enjoying Citra’s heady, grapey bouquet and its simple yet entirely satisfying flavour and texture. This in one hand and a barbecued burger in the other and you’re two-fisting your way to a better world.
PRICE: 750 ml/$7.45
AVAILABILITY: At most liquor stores (product #446633)
