Nic Tartaglia 2020 Cerasuolo D'Abruzzo (Italian Wine)

What is Cerasuolo D'Abruzzo? 

What's it made from? 

Why is no grape listed on the label? 

I look at one of those wines, right now : 

Nic Tartaglia 2020 Cerasuolo D'Abruzzo

 

--- THE WRITTEN REVIEW ---

Cerasuolo is really a “red wine masquerading as a white,” made from Montepulciano, yet they can’t say it on the label, and made in a rosé style. Yet seems to have more texture and even a little bit of tannin on the palate. Nice acidity, good texture and body, with some citrus and cran-apple, plus cherry and raspberry, this is a wine that will match with so many foods.  (****)
