Tasting - La Fiera Montepulciano D’Abruzo

Name: La Fiera
Variety: Montepulciano
Region: D'Abruzo
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95 
Shop/wine critic/winery review:
Lots of leather and dried fruit on this, but immensely enjoyable and held up well over the course of three days. A terrific find.
Your Review:
This did have a hearty flavor to it.  On the nose, it was strong and almost spicy.  Definitely not a casual wine.  I appreciated tasting this wine, because I don't think I would have picked it up and tried it on its own.
