read about this one in a recent review, as not to pass up at this normal price ...under £3 ... lol

"Asda Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (Italy) 2007
Meanwhile, this little Italian red has represented the previous low point (price-wise), available on the shelves for just £2.98. The truth is that precious few wines costing less than £3.00 would be suitable for 'wine of the week', but this is an exception: it is a light ruby colour, and a nosed of slightly spicy, red plum and cherry fruit. On the palate there is genuine personality here, and I have to say the fruit is excellent, with that slightly herbal edge and twist of typical Italian bitter cherry acidity to softer berry and plum flavours. It stays nicely balanced into the finish too, with soft tannins and a warming hint of earthy spice. Genuinely exceptional value this wine - there's no need to spend less... £2.98, Asda. "


Nice and easy fruit, well rounded and smooth, a pleasant experience and a pleasant price.

Who wrote that? I completely agree.

I recommended it on the radio a couple of weeks ago. Excellent wine for the money.

Will get the Asda notes up over the weekend.

For a while Asda wine has been in the main dire ... they have brought out recently, many new wines ... any tasting notes on them ?
