Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a wine that embodies the elegance and depth of Tuscany. This Nobile di Montepulciano from Tenuta Valdipiatta is a true gem, a sensory journey to the heart of this land blessed by the gods.
We are in Montepulciano, a prestigious appellation where Prugnolo Gentile, the local Sangiovese, reigns supreme. Tenuta Valdipiatta, with its commitment to tradition and quality, offers us here a remarkable expression of this terroir. The grapes, hand-harvested, are the fruit of ancestral know-how and a deep respect for the vine.
The vinification of this cru follows traditional methods: prolonged maceration in steel tanks extracts color and aromas, while aging of at least one year in oak barrels, out of the two minimum years required, refines its structure. The 2021 vintage already promises beautiful complexity. To the eye, you will be seduced by its deep ruby red color. On the nose, a rich and complex bouquet opens with notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, interlaced with spices, leather and tobacco. On the palate, this wine is well structured, with soft and elegant tannins that lead to a long and persistent finish, where you will perceive touches of vanilla and dark chocolate.
This Nobile di Montepulciano is the ideal companion for robust dishes. Imagine it alongside a red meat roast, a simmered game dish or a platter of aged cheeses. Its structure and complexity will enhance these dishes.
I recommend serving it at a temperature of around 18°C so that it reveals all its splendor. This wine can be enjoyed now, but it also has excellent aging potential. It is the very expression of Italian oenological excellence, a tribute to the authenticity and richness of the Montepulciano terroir. Let yourself be tempted by this experience, you will not regret it.
