Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where time seems to stand still. This Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 2000 from Folonari, from the Tenuta Torcalvano, is an invitation to that journey, a bottle that whispers the history of a vintage and the nobility of its terroir. It embodies understated elegance, a depth that reveals itself gently, without artifice.
It is within the famous Nobile di Montepulciano D.O.C.G. appellation, in the locality of Gracciano, that Folonari's Tenuta Torcalvano cultivates its Prugnolo Gentile. This grape variety, a pure clone of Sangiovese, is the soul of this wine. Fermentation takes place at 28°C in steel tanks, followed by maceration for more than 20 days, a process that extracts the richness of the fruit without roughing it up.
The 2000 vintage gave this wine a serene maturity. After vinification, it benefited from meticulous aging: 24 months in wood, split between Slavonian casks and barriques, followed by 12 additional months in the bottle. When tasting it, its color is deep, a promise of beautiful evolution. On the nose, I perceive delicate floral aromas, ripe small red fruit, notes of leather, and a spicy touch that reveals itself with aeration. On the palate, the tannins are velvety, well integrated, offering a present yet silky structure, and a persistence that invites contemplation.
This Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 2000 is a wine that calls for the table, flavorful dishes, and moments of sharing. I recommend it with characterful dishes, such as a scamerita di maiale accompanied by cime di rapa with garlic, an authentic Tuscan pairing. It will also pair wonderfully with red meats or aged cheeses. To appreciate its full complexity, remember to open it in advance, and depending on its evolution, decanting may reveal all its nuances. It is the ideal companion for a winter evening by the fire, or for celebrating a special occasion, offering a true immersion into the wine-growing heritage of Tuscany.
