title: La Valentina 2012 Bellovedere Riserva  (Montepulciano d'Abruzzo)
description: Packed in an extremely heavy bottle, this has aromas of French oak, vanilla and coconut. The firm palate offers dried sour cherry, raisin and oak-driven spice alongside raspy tannins that leave and astringent finish. It lacks the fruit richness needed to stand up to the oak.
variety: Montepulciano
designation: Bellovedere Riserva
