VINO NOBILE DI MONTEPULCIANO D.O.C.G.

2020 is considered a classic vintage: spring was sunny and warmer than average, whereas June had several episodes of rain that restored the water supply. September alternated between warm days and intense storms, without hindering the progression of the grapes’ phenolic ripening.

The wines of 2020 show intense colours, a nice aromatic expression and their structure is supported by a nice acidity.

Overall, 2019 offered favourable conditions, with weather alternating between periods of intense rainfall (April-May, November-December) and drier phases (from June to October. Temperatures were generally above average, ensuring a warm and bright climate for most of the year, with only a few exceptions in January and May.

The 2019 wines reveal excellent intensity and colour tones. On the palate, they exhibit deep colours, outstanding varietal aromatic expressiveness, concentration, and a finely crafted tannic structure.

The growing season in 2018 started with low temperatures and many rainfall episodes. The summer came finally in July, with sunny days and even higher temperatures than average. The harvest season was characterised by the prevalence of hot and sunny days, to allow the best maturation of Sangiovese. The wine shows a more delicate intensity than other vintages, it is already very pleasant on the nose, rich in fresh fruits and flowers aromas and spices. The taste is elegant and rich, with fine tannins and a full body.

The summer was warm and dry, therefore to make Vino Nobile we selected the best terroir, where the soil is suitable to face the lack of water and the high temperatures.
We exploited part of Martiena vineyard, where the tuff and sandy soil guarantees high acidities and some fresh and fragrant aromas to the grapes. On the other hand, the clay in Ciarliana vineyard ensure the water supply to the plants during the whole summer.
The wine already shows a pleasant and complex nose, and we do not need to wait for a very long time to enjoy this wine at its best. Nevertheless, the quality of our Vino Nobile guarantees a long aging potential, for even 10-15 years.
