This red wine makes use of an exotic blend of grapes: Sangiovese (50-75%), Canaiolo Nero (5-15%), Ciliegiolo, Colorino, Malvasia Nera, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (10-15%), together with local red and green grapes (0-20%).
The result is a light and clear red wine. The aroma is vinous, intense and characteristic, and the taste is delightfully smooth and dry.
Montecarlo Rosso is also available as a Reserve.

That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
It's unknown where the name Abruzzo comes from, but after the fall of the Roman Empire, the region's land areas were subjected to a number of dynasties, and for several hundred years they were ruled from the south as a part of the Napoli kingdom.
