The price difference between this 2015 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the Vecchie Viti del Salco is noteworthy. This more affordable option delivers ripe fruit, dark cherry and blackcurrant folded within spice and delicate hints of campfire ash. It is a pure expression of Sangiovese, otherwise known locally as Prungnolo Gentile. The wine ages for 18 months in oak, of which 70% is botte grande and 30% is tonneaux. You'll catch a lot of plummy, ripe fruit flavors on the finish. A solid 120,000 bottles were produced.

Aromas of green tomato and tomato leaf segue into plum and cherry flavors in this concentrated red. Leather, iron and sanguine notes chime in as this cruises to a lingering aftertaste. Shows terrific intensity and balance. Best from 2022 through 2040. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 10,000 cases made, 1,350 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Select to Add
