An Italian to Avoid

2004 Riparosso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo from Illuminati. We purchased this at Kroger's for $15.99. Lots of fruit up front but a very bitter taste once it hits the back of your mouth and slides down your throat. And we are not talking about bitterness from tannin, just a plain old nasty taste experience. Don't waste your money.
