Description: Vino Nobile di Montepulciano was one of the original four DOCGs created in 1980. By law, the wines must be aged for 2 years to be called Vino Nobile and 3 years to qualify as Riserva. The area of Montepulciano is warmer than the rest of Tuscany.
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano must contain at least 70% Prugnolo Gentile (aka Sangiovese).
It has intense ruby red color with garnet hues. In its youth, this wine displays aromas of plum that evolve into violet and iris. It is elegant and yielded, persisting and slightly tannic and will age very well. Precise and fragrant on the nose showing notes of raspberries, redcurrants, linden and almonds. Medium bodied, lightly extracted soft tannins and a pleasing, flavourful finale which makes tastiness it's main weapon.
