Disagreements are allowed. But you’re probably tasting a different vintage, as this review is a couple years old. Nonetheless, I’m not too surprised that you enjoyed it more than two-buck-chuck, I’d consider it a step up. But try a couple other Montepulciano d’Abruzzos. You may like them even more. Cheers!

I disagree with the reviewer… after a steady diet of “two-buck-chuck”, my husband and I LOVED this wine.

Wine is like art. You like it or you don’t. At my age,67, my tastes have gone from dry high tanins to softer wines , both red and white. The Villa Cerrina meets my taste and I like it. I don’t have all the descriptions that the experts use , but it tastes good and is very affordable

Couldn’t disagree with your rating and evaluation more…thought it was excellent…especially for the price.

Agree with above. A very good wine at a bargain price. Excellent table wine.

Interesting take on Trader Joe's and as big of a fan as I am I have to agree. It is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. But when you do it is one hell of a find! Here are some Italians that I have enjoyed (rank ordered): - 2005 Epicuro Aglianico ($5) - 2005 Archero Nero d' Avola Ruggero di Tasso ($4) - 2003 Epicuro Salice Salentino Riserva ($5) - 2006 Aquila d'Oro Toscana ($4) If you grab them let me know what you think!
