We had a bottle of Aemelia Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2003 the other night with pizza. I thought it was very good, my wife thought it was bold, assertive, peppery, and with a hint of black cherry. Can't remember if we bought it or if it was gifted to us, but I think it's about $10 US. It's on my "buy again" list.
