Don’t miss this classic Tuscan red, a true gem crafted from a blend of 80% Sangiovese, and 20% Canaiolo Nero and Mammolo farmed organically (not certified) in sandy clay soils. Deep, dark, layered - classically structured delivering palate encompassing richness, concentration and depth. As good or better than many Brunellos at 2x the price!
The clone of Sangiovese grown here is a variant strain found in and around Montepulciano. Aging is in Slavonian and French oak barrels of various capacities (18-20-25-30 hectoliters) for two years. Drink now and for a decade to come!
The 2021 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano launches from the glass with a cascade of dried rose, cedar shavings, crushed rocks and dried black cherry aromas. It's silky smooth and pliant with racy red and hints of blue fruit that ride a stream of fresh acidity as saline mineral tones and a balsamic tinge collect toward the close. A pleasantly bitter concentration lingers as the 2021 finishes poised and refined with dramatic length and potency. Inner florals swirl across a bed of fine-grained tannins on the close. What a beauty.
