The 2011 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a very pretty wine with a great level of color saturation (it boasts a deep garnet-red color) and aromatic intensity. The wine is smooth and finely textured and its firm structure serves as a sounding board for red cherry, blackberry and toasted almond. The acidic delivery is also nicely integrated and very much appreciated especially in this hot vintage. The blend is 95% Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese) with smaller parts Colorino and Mammolo.

Broad and nicely balanced, offering plum, cherry, leather and tobacco flavors. Lingers well, picking up a mineral note on the finish. Ideal for grilled or braised meats. Drink now through 2022. 29,165 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Select to Add
