Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where time seems to stand still. This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG from Tenuta Calimaia, crafted by Frescobaldi, is an invitation to this escape, a wine that whispers the history and passion of an exceptional terroir.
We are here in the province of Siena, on the lands of Montepulciano, the birthplace of the DOCG appellation. The Calimaia estate, owned by the Frescobaldi family, is part of a long winemaking tradition. This wine is primarily made from the Sangiovese grape, known locally as Prugnolo Gentile, a name that already evokes its nobility and finesse. The 2021 vintage, with its character, promises beautiful evolution.
In your glass, you will discover an intense ruby red color, a promise of beautiful concentration. On the nose, this Nobile reveals itself to be complex, unveiling aromas of ripe red fruits, married with notes of sweet spices and a subtle balsamic touch, reflecting a terroir rich in minerals. On the palate, the harmony is striking: the body is balanced, the tannins are soft and caressing, and the finish lingers with a persistence that invites contemplation. Fermentation in steel tanks, followed by a long maceration, then aging for at least two years, partly in oak barrels, contribute to this elegance without artifice.
This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a guest of choice for your most memorable meals. I particularly recommend it with grilled or sauced red meats, game with intense flavors, or aged cheeses that will converse with its complexity. It is the ideal wine to celebrate a special moment, or simply to treat yourself to a moment of pure Tuscan authenticity.
