Etiko Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a certified organic Italian red wine from the Abruzzo region of central Italy, made from the indigenous Montepulciano grape. Produced under the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC appellation, this 2024 vintage delivers a deep ruby color and a medium-bodied profile with moderately refreshing acidity — a food-friendly alternative to better-known Italian reds like Chianti.

The wine opens with vibrant aromas and flavors of blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, complemented by soft tannins and a peppery finish that adds complexity and length. Its approachable structure makes it an excellent everyday red that pairs well with pasta, grilled meats, pizza, and aged cheeses. Rated 90 points, this bottle offers exceptional value at Costco compared to its typical retail price of around $25.
