2004 Valle Martello, Aprutium Alma Mater, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Cerasuolo Rosato ($7.99 Wine Expo). Alcohol level: 13%. A great big rose’ that gives you very aromatic red fruit perfume on the nose and upfront. In the middle it is full of red wine flavor and fruit with just a touch of Abruzzo dirt. All this accompanied by a surprisingly long finish for a rose’.
We matched it with grillpanned (it was raining) salmon filet, nuked fresh zucchini with thinly sliced onion and EVOO and rolls. It all made for a very nice Friday night meal.

Glad you liked that, Carl. It's a screaming deal and one of the most versitle wines we offer.

Had the second half with chicken salad Bev made out of the remains of the six pound clucker we smoked last week. What a perfect match!

Opened another bottle tonight with the same salmonburgers we had with the Spanish rose' last Friday. Matched perfectly along with a salad with the best tomatoes we've had in a long time; they were Brandywines.

Other half tonight with Veal Burgers and salad. Perfect match as this wine always is!
