Cora Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022 MAGNUM 1.5 Liter

Cora Montepulciano d’Abruzzo — Abruzzo, Italy 2022 | Magnum 1.5L

The Cora Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is the kind of bottle that earns a permanent spot on the table — and in Magnum, it becomes the life of the party. A proprietary label crafted exclusively for David Bowler Wine, Cora sources fruit from established vineyards in the Abruzzo region, where the rugged Apennine foothills and Adriatic breezes produce Montepulciano of exceptional depth and drinkability. Fresh, fun, and uncomplicated by design — but built to satisfy exacting standards. At $15.99 for 1.5 liters, it is one of the most compelling value plays in Italian red wine.

The nose is generous and approachable: dark cherry, ripe plum, dried herbs, and a hint of earthy spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with soft, rounded tannins, lively acidity, and a clean, fruit-forward finish that makes it endlessly easy to pour. The Magnum format keeps the wine fresher for longer — and makes a statement at any table.

“Great value wines that are fresh, fun, and uncomplicated, yet satisfy our exacting standards.” — David Bowler Wine
