Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2021

This is 90% Prugnolo Gentile (the local name for Sangiovese) with small amounts of Canaiolo, Colorino and Mammolo, all selected from clones from their oldest vineyards. Aged 24 months in a combination of barrel, tonneaux and barrique, the wine is structured with classic blueberry and plum evolving to violets. Complex and elegant, there are notes of dried herbs, earth and leather and vanilla, the palate flavourful with plummy fruit made supple by silky tannins.
