Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you on a sensory journey to the heart of Tuscany, where elegance and tradition meet in a glass. This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG from the Cantine Storiche De Ricci is not just a wine, it is a fragment of history, a pure expression of its terroir.
Montepulciano, that hilltop town you may know, is the birthplace of this exceptional wine. The Cantine Storiche De Ricci perpetuate ancestral know-how there, drawing the best from their vineyards. Here, the king of grape varieties is Sangiovese, but it is called Prugnolo Gentile, a name that already evokes the nobility and character of this grape.
The deep red color of this 2020 vintage already promises great complexity. On the nose, I perceive intense aromas of ripe red fruits – think of juicy cherries and fleshy plums. But that's not all: notes of delicate violet, subtle tobacco and sweet spices enrich this bouquet, the result of careful aging in large oak barrels. On the palate, you will be seduced by silky tannins and a revitalizing freshness that stretches into a long, persistent finish. The vinification, with fermentation in steel tanks and a long maceration, followed by aging of at least two years including twelve months in wood, contributes to this balanced structure and this aromatic richness.
This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is an ideal companion for meals with character. I recommend it with grilled red meats, a good slow-cooked game dish or aged cheeses, for a taste experience that will transport you straight to Tuscany. Let yourself be tempted by this bottle, it will tell you the story of a territory, a passion and a know-how that span the centuries.
