Avignonesi Nobile di Montepulciano: The Soul of Prugnolo Gentile

I invite you on a sensory journey to the heart of Tuscany, where winemaking tradition meets a quest for purity. This Nobile di Montepulciano, from the Avignonesi estate, is not just a wine; it is a story, a terroir that expresses itself with rare elegance, transporting you directly under the Montepulciano sun.

Montepulciano: Terroir and the Avignonesi Legacy

Nestled in the rolling hills of Montepulciano, the Avignonesi estate cultivates its vines with deep respect for the land. This wine is primarily made from the Prugnolo Gentile grape, a local Sangiovese variety, carefully selected from the twenty-six parcels that give the wine its name: "Il Ventisei". It is this attention to detail, this parcel-by-parcel selection, that gives this Nobile a remarkable depth and complexity, rooted in Tuscan winemaking history.

The 2020 vintage reveals itself in an intense ruby red robe, dotted with garnet highlights, a promise of fine maturity. On the nose, you will be charmed by intense aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, which blend harmoniously with spicy notes of black pepper. I also detect a delicate touch of tobacco and dark chocolate, adding to its complexity. On the palate, this wine is full and enveloping, with well-balanced tannins that lead to a long, persistent finish, reflecting its steel fermentation and extended maceration, followed by aging of at least two years.

Nobile di Montepulciano at your table

To fully appreciate this Nobile di Montepulciano, I recommend pairing it with robust dishes from Tuscan cuisine. Picture it alongside a succulent bistecca alla fiorentina, a game dish with intense flavors, or with aged cheeses that will reveal all its nuances. It is a wine that invites conviviality, perfect for a dinner among friends or a special occasion where you wish to offer an authentic and memorable tasting experience.
