Anders Källberg wrote:I agree with what Martin has said. Villa Ghemme is definitely the best Montepulciano I've tasted from Abruzzo and it beats most Conero from the Marche too.
Then, Martina Cvetic is a nice woman... I've not met her husband, Signore Masciarelli.
Cheers, Anders

Martin,
I rate the excellent Marina Cvetic far higher than a basic level Chianti. In fact below Marina Cvetic in Masciarelli's range there is a basic level M d'A costing approx. € 8 here which is very good and which IMHO is more than equal to most basic Chiantis costing a good handful of Euros more.

Just to clarify, even though I am a native speaker of English, my remark may have been misleading.
I meant to say that Marina Cvetic is a great wine, AND that even a much more modest MdA can be a match for basic Chianti.
